Turning Trash into Cash, rx3.ie
Posted by alice on January 15th, 2010.Rx3 has been created as the new name for the Market Development Programme. Rx3 “rethink recycle remake” works with a range of partners and stakeholders to create markets for recycled materials.
Rx3 are running a Sustainable Innovation Forum on 27th April. This will highlight thinking around sustainability and design, showcase recycled products and ideas that unite social, economic and environmental values. It will also highlight opportunities and provide information and support to stakeholders and people who have an interest in the waste marketplace. As part of the forum Rx3 are hosting two competitions.
