Plaxica now runs a laboratory from the Wilton Centre with a multidisciplinary team of chemists, technicians and engineers. With assistance from CPI, larger scale trials have been conducted. The trials were successful and as a result Plaxica is now building a pilot plant with a view to proving their technology to the wider market.
