Waterford business shortlisted for prestigious national awards
The awards recognise Irish businesses that are making a positive impact on their community with circular economic principles
A Waterford business has been shortlisted in the RDS Circular Economy Awards which recognise and celebrate the organisations, entrepreneurs, and innovators making a difference in this space.
The awards highlight the benefits that a circular economy can bring to both producers and consumers and showcase the practical examples of the circular economy in action.
NEG8 Carbon has been shortlisted in the SME Award category, which recognises Irish businesses who are making a positive impact on their community with circular economic principles.
Circular design thinking is the driving force behind some of the most interesting and disruptive new businesses that provide products or services using renewable materials and are designed for durability, reuse and recycling to keep products, components and materials circulating in the economy.
The awards will take place on Wednesday, April 9, as part of the ‘Finding Common Ground’ festival in the RDS in Dublin.
The ‘Finding Common Ground’ festival, which takes place over two days in the RDS in Ballsbridge, is being delivered as one of the RDS Foundation social impact programmes.
It will bring together scientists, researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, practitioners, advocates and RDS Members to explore how Ireland can harness the benefits of our natural resources and the circular economy with a view to creating increased awareness, education and identification of solutions.
A series of talks and panel discussions will focus on the latest advancements and challenges in areas such as land use, forestry and the bioeconomy. The broad programme will also explore topics such as decarbonising construction, how to use the arts to engage with environmental societal change and primary science education.
