TURMERIC+, the most popular of our Joint Health supplements and the focus of significant press coverage, is now supported by 41 published studies. Based in Cambridge, ​the world-famous research hub, Cambridge Nutraceuticals was founded in 2012 and has grown ​rapidly, winning the confidence of customers, investors​ and internationally renowned research groups​. We sell direct-to-customer within the UK and reach international purchasers through our overseas distributors, with Australia being ​an especially important market.

Enval is at the forefront of addressing the challenges posed by flexible and multilayer plastic packaging traditionally deemed unrecyclable. Our mission is to transform these materials into valuable resources, eliminating the need to be sent to landfills or incineration. A cornerstone of our expertise lies in recycling laminated packaging waste, with or without an aluminium layer. Our innovative technology extracts high-quality aluminium (where present), oil, and gas from items like baby food and pet food pouches. This process not only ensures comprehensive recycling but also makes it economically sustainable. Our first plant is now operational in Mexico, transforming material previously destined for landfill into a product for new plastic production. Our tests have consistently demonstrated the adaptability of our process across various types of flexible plastic packaging, sourced from both post-consumer and post-production origins

We live and breathe the reduce, reuse, recycle mantra and we believe that plastic is a great material and an integral part of the solution to reducing our carbon footprint. Our mission is to accelerate the evolution of plastic into a more sustainable material through innovation and technical excellence. Our vision is to be a global force driving positive change towards a sustainable future. CAREERS AT RECYCLING TECHNOLOGIES: Were looking for people who think differently.

We’re a venture capital firm that uses data and diversification to maximise return potential. To do this we created the Access EIS fund: a uniquely data-driven approach to investing in startups that co-invests with the business angels we’ve identified as the best performers in the UK to gain access to the most promising investment opportunities. Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
