Students from the School of Engineering are helping to tackle Britain’s looming landfill crisis by creating a recycling bin fit for the year 2020.
The University of Lincoln’s School of Engineering has partnered with Louth-based technical plastics recycler and compounder, Luxus, for the ‘Design4Recycling’ competition.
The students will create concepts for a recycling bin to help the plastics and waste industries improve recycling rates.

A joint project between the University of Lincoln and Bettaland nursery in Spalding, Lincolnshire, has revealed that research into environmentally friendly, peat-free compost is proving successful.
//The University of Lincoln in association with Transition Lincoln will be screening Chasing Ice on Thursday 25th April at 7pm in the Cargill Lecture Theatre, Main Admin Building (building 9 on the map). Although this is a free screening donations will be collected to cover the cost of hiring the film. We look forward to seeing you there!
A bit about the film:
Acclaimed photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. But through his Extreme Ice Survey, he discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. In Chasing Ice, Balog deploys revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate.
Traveling with a team of young adventurers across the brutal Arctic, Balog risks his career and his well-being in pursuit of the biggest story facing humanity. As the debate polarizes America, and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to deliver fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet.
