Emmeline Aves Email & Phone Number

Emmeline joined the polymer recycling start-up ReVentas in 2020 when they spun out from the Innovations department of Impact Solutions. ReVentas’ patented technology separates Polyethylene and Polypropylene of odours, colours and contaminants to return it to a virgin-like state. Emmeline project managed the build of ReVentas's pilot plant as well as several other projects, before more recently becoming Commercial Manager at ReVentas. Previously, Emmeline headed the technical team for the PolyMet Colour Removal Project at Impact Solutions. The project was recently awarded a £0.8 m industrial research grant by Innovate UK to develop a new technology for pigment extraction from waste plastics recyclate. As the Research Lead of Impact’s innovations team, Emmeline was involved in a variety of projects seeking to develop and exploit new technologies across the plastic and recycling industries. Originally from Exeter, Emmeline left the South West to study Chemistry at The University of Sheffield, where she graduated with a first-class Master’s degree specialising in crystallography. During her studies she conducted research investigating the porosity of new inorganic molecular crystal systems using X-ray diffraction and the analysis of dissolved organic material in waterways by 3D fluorescence before she decided to continue north and moved to Scotland to work for Impact Solutions’ innovation team. Here she enjoys applying her knowledge to some of the biggest challenges in the plastic industry during the week, then making the most of the beautiful Scottish coastlines at weekends.
