Circular Economy R&D: Household Flexible Packaging & Waste Collector Co-Development

Director at LUMA-iD Ltd.

London, United Kingdom

About

Following our R&D project supported by Innovate UK focused on household collection of flexible plastic packaging, we are seeking Singaporean commercial, manufacturing, or sustainability partners to scale and internationalize this circular economy solution.

Flexible plastics represent a major gap in urban recycling systems globally. Our FlexyBin solution addresses household waste segregation and collection through optimized product design, sustainable materials, and user-friendly home integration.

Project Scope & Collaboration Goals:

  • Singapore Pilot & Adaptation: Adapting the FlexyBin hardware design for high-density, high-rise urban environments common in Singapore and South-East Asia.

  • Advanced Manufacturing & Sustainable Materials: Integrating recycled/recyclable polymers and additive tooling for scalable production.

  • Smart Waste Integration: Co-developing IoT or sensor-based features (fill-level monitoring, QR/RFID tracking) to support intelligent municipal or commercial collection networks.

  • Joint Grant Application: Submitting a joint proposal under the UK-Singapore Collaborative R&D scheme with a Singapore registered business or research institution.

Ideal Partner Profile:

  • Singapore waste management, cleantech, or circular economy operators interested in innovative collection infrastructure.

  • Manufacturing or product design partners with expertise in recycled polymer molding and scalable production.

  • Smart city or IoT tech providers interested in embedding connected features into hardware waste solutions.
