Since it's formation in 1995 the quality of the company has been recognised by the receipt of the following awards:

SMART Award in 1999

SMART (Small Firms Merit Award for Research and Technology) was the DTI's (Department of Trade and Industry) package of support to help individuals and small and medium size firms to research, develop or acquire technologies needed to turn good ideas into commercial products. SMART awards were made on a competitive basis.

In 1999 Durham Organics Limited received a SMART award for a feasibility study into the use of Flash-Vacuum Pyrolysis on a commercial scale, with particular emphasis on its use in the production of biphenylenes

(Note: In autumn 2003 the SMART scheme was replaced by the DTI's Grant for Research and Development initiative, which provides grants to help individuals and small and medium-sized businesses to research and develop technologically innovative products and processes.)
