Economy.

Delivering through Partnerships

Advocacy and Communication

We are an advocate for waste prevention and the circular economy in Ireland, including working with the public on priority topics such as food waste and plastics.
We communicate solutions based on behavioural insights that can be scaled up for the greatest impact. We gather data and evidence to inform robust policy development
and report on progress.
