That dye is then used in a masterbatch to ‘mark’ every component made in that polymer type. This work will be risky &amp;amp; we will require financial support for this research &amp;amp; development. We need an expert to assist us in carrying out a techno-economic feasibility study and to prepare a grant application.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
