The Asbestos Innovation Partnership (AIP) will work with the NDA, NDA subsidiary Nuclear Waste Services (NWS), and the supply chain, to test and develop new solutions to treat asbestos waste.

Two consortia that make up the AIP involve Veolia Nuclear UK Solutions and Cyclife UK Ltd, plus React 2, which is made up of Oakham-based Galson Sciences, and Thermachange, a Liverpool company that processes and upcycles asbestos.

In a statement, Emma Ferguson-Gould, NDA chief commercial and business development officer, said: “The development of the innovation partnership for the management of asbestos waste is a huge milestone for the NDA group and is equally beneficial for the delivery of NDA’s mission and for the enhanced value this will deliver for the UK taxpayer. 

“Delivering this milestone highlights the benefits of working as one NDA group and our collective enduring commitment to our critical mission.”
