Image: © Sergii / Adobe Stock The growth of electric vehicle (EV) sales is expected to accelerate in the coming years, and with it the volume of batteries reaching their end of life (EoL) will also significantly increase. This poses several questions and challenges for stakeholders across the battery supply chain, from battery cell […]
Image: © megaflopp / Adobe Stock Gallium is becoming an increasingly widespread material for semiconductors in electronic applications. To limit the need for new resources, the ReGaIL project explored and proved that it is possible to create a circular system by recovering gallium from end-of-life LED (light-emitting diode) lamps in a novel, environmentally friendly […]
A trailblazing circular economy project to advance the development of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) has secured a finalist place at the global Energy Institute 2021 Awards, and HSSMI has been praised for contributing to the project’s success. HSSMI is working in partnership with project leaders, Wilson Bio-Chemical Ltd on Waste-to-Wings, a project to future-proof […]
HSSMI is proud to announce that our work in accelerating the development and scale up of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has been recognised at the Make UK Manufacturing Awards for the Midlands and East of England region.

Image: © Chalabala / Adobe Stock Wilson Bio-Chemical Ltd and HSSMI, two Midlands-based SMEs, are celebrating after securing specialist innovation funding to future-proof the production of greener jet fuel by using circular economy practices and aerospace industry derived waste as the primary feedstock to manufacture sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The UK’s ambition is to […]
Image: © muratart / Adobe Stock With the transition to electric vehicles, the UK finds itself in a position to build a battery supply chain nearly from scratch. It is absolutely critical to do this in a manner that is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable by design. The approach requires systemic thinking and collaboration […]
Image: © Bramble Energy The feasibility study HySMART, funded by the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) and facilitated by the Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC), is driven by an urgent need for hydrogen fuel cell system producers and associated supply chains to drive down costs and offer fuel cell vehicles on a cost competitive basis. The […]
Image: © Tim / Adobe Stock The UK’s ambition to be at the forefront of battery and electric vehicle production faces a key hurdle – the reliance on imports of lithium and other critical raw materials. A new project undertaken by Imerys, Cornish Lithium, and HSSMI aims to explore the possibilities for sourcing lithium […]
Image: © HSSMI We recently teamed up with Miretur Ltd, the University of Huddersfield and luxury fashion house Burberry to explore whether leather used in car seats can be given a second life and turned into a new product. We specifically looked at interiors that are returned to automotive OEMs under warranty, which have […]
