Priority 4 COLLABORATIVE DIGITAL TWIN
What is it? A collaborative digital twin to simulate scenarios in feedstock demand variations, production processes, formulation behaviour, end-of-life fate and sustainability assessment tools. What will it enable? comprehensively understand risks and trace the impacts of PLFs across the value chain. In the context of PLF research, a collaborative digital twin would rapidly and comprehensively advance innovation and regulation as demand changes. Our task force stressed the need for sustainability assessment tools to
Priority 5 FORMULATION TESTING AND SCALING APPLIED RESEARCH CAPABILITY
What is it? Rapid design and performance testing of novel PLFs to replace existing fossil-based polymers. This comes with predictive modelling development, via machine learning it trains the model to design new formulations rapidly. What will it enable? Designing a new polymer is usually a five- year cycle. Changing hundreds of them will take decades, so developing a high- throughput capability will enable us to meet our targets and transition to fossil-free.
