Goals / Remit
The Rediscovery Centre is the National Centre for the Circular Economy in Ireland, bringing together the skills and expertise of artists, scientists, designers and craftspeople united in a common purpose of sustainability. The Rediscovery Centre reviews, analyses and informs circular economy policy on a regional, national and international scale, aiming to communicate policy developments and impacts in an accessible manner. Located in a bespoke demonstration eco-facility, we support four reuse social enterprises; Rediscover Furniture, Rediscover Fashion, Rediscover Paint and Rediscover Cycling which use unwanted materials for new product development and design demonstrating effective resource efficiency, reuse and low carbon living. The Rediscovery Centre is an accredited Discover Primary Science and Maths centre. The Centre’s translational research activities support national waste prevention and climate action policy and advocate for a more resilient and equitable society.
