NICER and Innovate UK Case Studies

NICER, 2023

Below you will find project case studies from the second round of Innovate UK’s Circular Economy for SMEs – Innovating with the NICER Programme funding call.

We’re immensely proud to highlight the innovative ideas and solutions that have been developed by the funded organisations and their partners to help create a more circular future across a range of sectors. The two rounds of funding have now closed, but we continue to celebrate the successes and achievements of our community. Browse our collection of case studies to learn more about the transformative impact of circular economy principles and the power of innovative thinking in driving positive change in the UK and beyond.
