nornnorn wins grant from Royal Academy of Engineering to ‘develop polyurethane foam upcycling technology’

nornnorn has won an £80,000-grant from the UK Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) through the Engineering X Transforming Systems through Partnership programme to develop an eco-friendly and economically viable technology for polyurethane foam waste upcycling. The project will be conducted by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in collaboration with the University of Cambridge.

Run by the RAE, supported by the Newton Fund and delivered in partnership with innovation agencies in six countries, the Engineering X Transforming Systems through Partnership programme aims to build engineering teaching, research and innovation capacity within partner countries' universities through collaboration between local stakeholders and UK academics that meets local and global development challenges.
