We Research Technical Solutions For Circular Economy Projects

The Challenge

Project Managers, Engineering Managers, Team leaders and many Technical Professionals working in the Chemical, Food & Beverage and Manufacturing industries often spend a significant amount of time and effort sourcing technical solutions and industry suppliers while balancing core responsibilities.

​​

The Problem:

  • R&D teams are under pressure for circularity but don't have time or resources to scan the global market properly and spend too much time chasing suppliers, checking their credibility and conducting initial assessments.

  • Circular economy solutions are even harder because the supplier ecosystem is immature and fragmented.

  • Finding and validating suppliers is time-consuming and tedious.

  • Engineers and managers must juggle sourcing efforts with critical tasks, many times alone - solving technical problems, overseeing projects, sending emails, making calls, attending meetings, etc.

  • This process frequently leads to delays, unnecessary costs, frustration and mental drain, as teams struggle to find the right solutions efficiently, on time.

  • You constantly say: "We need to find a supplier for this new material/process but we don’t have much time to do it”

​​

The Impact:

  • Project delays due to prolonged supplier searches.

  • Increased costs from inefficient sourcing and decision-making.

  • Lost time and productivity as professionals handle supplier vetting alone.

What We do

We help R&D and Engineering teams search, find, qualify and connect with industry suppliers and technology providers to help address specific project needs.

​​​

The Process Includes:

  • Understanding project requirements in detail.

  • Sourcing and evaluating Suppliers and Technology Providers to identify the best-fit solutions.

  • Conducting 1-2-1 supplier assessments for a better understanding,

  • Providing a list of tailored recommendations.

  • Leaving the final vetting and selection to the technical team.

  • Keeping R&D and Engineering teams informed of innovative solutions from industry events around the UK and Europe.

​​​

The Result:

R&D and Engineering teams save significant time and money in sourcing and connecting with partners tailored to their specific project needs, gaining back time and internal resources to focus on core R&D activities.
