  PhD Project: AI for improving Information Workflows. (PhD Computer Science)
University of Hull Department of Computer Science and Technology
  Dr C Kambhampati, Dr Y Cheng
Application Deadline: 1 April 2019
Plastic has changed the way we live, but the time has come to address the way in which it is used and disposed of. We urgently need new ways of thinking about the problems of plastic use.

  Modelling and Simulation of Pyrolysis and Gasification of Biomass and Waste Plastic
University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
  Prof M Wang
Applications accepted all year round
Biomass is generally viewed as a CO2 neutral energy source. Biomass pyrolysis and gasification can produce syngas. The process conditions of pyrolysis can alter the proportions of gas, solid and liquid products.

  Biodegradable plastic composites from renewable or waste sources
University of Strathclyde Department of Chemical and Process Engineering
  Dr K Johnston, Dr L Lue
Applications accepted all year round
To reduce the amount of plastic waste in the marine environment, there is a strong incentive to switch to biodegradable polymers, which are ideally synthesised from renewable or waste streams, rather than from oil.

  Toward a Circular Economy for Plastics: Advanced Imaging and Numerical Modelling of Segregation and Transport of Plastics in Fluidised Beds
University of Birmingham Global Challenges Scholarship
  Research Group: Plastics
  Dr C Windows-Yule, Prof J Seville
Application Deadline: 31 March 2019
Plastic waste is one of the great environmental challenges of our time. Recently, a promising new technique has been developed, which converts waste plastics into petrochemical feedstock by injecting them into a gas-fluidised bed of heated particles.
