University of York and Circa Group partner on bio-based chemistry institute
Together with Circa Group, the University of York launches a new institute for the promotion of bio-based products, the Circa Renewable Chemistry Institute (CRCI).

Professor James Clark, director of the CRCI at the University of York said, “We have worked with Circa now for nearly a decade, and the strength of the relationship lies in the shared belief that the chemical industry can and will be environmentally responsible and able to transition from fossil-based chemicals to commercially viable bio-based products.”
Previously, the partnership has developed a green solvent for applications in paints and coatings and more fields.
