The exciting ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) project ARLI offers funded advice and technical support to eligible SMEs across three Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas – Greater Birmingham & Solihull, Black Country, Coventry & Warwickshire – on developing innovative low-carbon products and processes.

ARLI brings together a team of experienced academics and engineers to support businesses in developing cost-effective products and processes, which provide energy-efficiency gains in the use of raw and waste materials. The project, delivered through the School of Engineering, aims to identify waste streams or other materials that could be transformed into higher-value goods for construction and other manufacturing industry applications.
