KTP's - Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

Fyne Homes Ltd in Partnership with Remade Scotland. Fyne Futures - a subsidiary company of Fyne Homes, (a registered Social Landlord) - is an innovative organisation delivering a recycling collection service on the Isle of Bute. Located in an award winning purpose built building constructed almost entirely from reclaimed and sustainably sourced materials, the company is seeking to promote sustainability and to develop small scale manufacturing capability to process recovered materials into high value products.

Fyne Futures objective with this project is to move from grant aided operations to independent financial status by developing additional income generating cost centres. The KTP Programme developed with the Caledonian Environment Centre will :-

1. evaluate the available technology and implement a small scale oil reprocessing plant to convert waste cooking oil into biodiesel.
2. develop and implement a programme to collect and process glass into decorative aggregate and a sand alternative.

In addition to the direct economic benefits, the development of markets for materials recovered on the island will have a positive environmental impact and will support local jobs. Incorporating these three key elements of sustainability, the project will serve as a demonstration of commercial sustainable development in practice.
