Funding of €640,000 has been announced for 13 projects across Ireland under the second Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme (CEIGS).

Creating a ‘circular economy’ is part of the move towards a more sustainable future, with a focus on reducing and eliminating waste and keeping resources in use for as long as possible. The Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme will help communities to make this transition.

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications with special responsibility for the Circular Economy and Communications, Ossian Smyth said:

“The scale of the challenge to become circular requires change at every level of our society. I am delighted to be able to support these projects which have been proposed from people active in making and advocating change. I look forward to realizing the ambition of these projects and building further on their success in the coming years of this scheme.”

The selected projects will support the drive to develop the circular economy in areas such as sustainable fashion, sharing platforms, ICT and electronics, energy, reusable food packaging and construction.
