REAL
are very pleased to announce that the first project of the Research Hub:
‘The development of a Research Library for the Organics Recycling
industry’
is complete, and the Research Library, an online platform compiled of
research undertaken across the composting and anaerobic digestion industries,
with effort being focussed particularly on the past decade and on research that
is of relevance to the UK, has launched today: Tuesday 26th January
2021.
The concept for the Research Library was submitted via the Research
Hub’s Call for Proposals in 2019, and REAL have been working closely with NNFCC, the project contractor, to bring
the idea to fruition.
Not
only will the library collate research that has been carried out across the
industries, but it will also highlight ‘research gaps’; areas of research that
are limited or absent altogether.
The library content will advance industry knowledge, inform areas of
focus for future Research Project Proposals to be submitted to and taken
forwards by the Hub, and in turn drive industry forwards.
The library can be used as a tool to generate inspiration for the
Research Hub’s 2021 Call for
Proposals.
You can access the library using: www.realresearchlibrary.org.uk
CCS and BCS participants are granted
priority access to the Research Library. Each scheme participant was emailed
their Research Library access details (Username & Password) on Monday
25th January 2021.
Wider industry may request access to the library, by visiting the
webpage and selecting the 'Request access here' option. Access is granted on a
case-by-case basis.
