Mission & Goals
Rediscovery Centre is the National Centre for the Circular Economy. Since 2004, the centre has been leading Ireland’s transition to a circular economy and low-carbon, sustainable future. Based in Europe’s first circular economy demonstration centre, Rediscovery Centre acts as an innovation hub, delivering education, providing research and enabling policy, citizen engagement and collaboration to support community action. Recognising that a just transition requires a social movement, we use our skills and expertise to ensure that all people benefit from, and can participate in, the circular economy. Our work is supported by key strategic partners and includes a range of education and research programmes, workshops and training courses across broad disciplines, including STEM, reuse, repair, resource efficiency and sustainability.

Organisation Members
https://www.paintreuse.network/ - The Paint Reuse Network is led by The Rediscovery Centre, with the support of Ireland’s Regional Waste Management Planning Offices. The Paint Reuse Network is a membership based organisation; a collective of Irish groups and organisations involved in paint reuse with a common vision to reduce paint waste in Ireland. The network encourages and supports paint reuse and redistribution for the benefit of local communities and the planet. We do this through creating opportunities for knowledge sharing, providing best practice guidance and facilitating conversations between network members. We advocate for change in the way that households and commercial premises manage unused paint. We increase public awareness of the potential for paint to be given a second life and redistributed for use.
