In an era where sustainability is more crucial than ever, Irish businesses are stepping up to the challenge. The Celebrating Circular publication and exhibition, curated by Szilvia Szabó, spotlights trailblazers who are driving the shift towards a low-carbon, sustainable economy. The event Celebrating Circular Stories & Inspirations from and for sustainable businesses at Dublin City Hall on September 12, 2024, marking the launch of this online publication, showcasing a diverse array of businesses that are turning sustainability and the circular economy into a business advantage.
Featured businesses include shareclub, Blackwater Distillery, VivaGreen, Well Spent Grain, Afore After, Forja Works, Lush - Dublin Store, Stillgarden Distillery, Burke’s of Rathnew, and Native Events.
Sarah Fliessbach, Founder and CEO of shareclub, was one of the event’s panel speakers, sharing her business experience, lessons learned, and top advice for integrating sustainability into business models.
The businesses featured in this event will continue to be showcased with a stunning art gallery style exhibition, located in the basement of City Hall, until the end of this week. This exhibition not only celebrates their achievements but also aims to inspire others to adopt sustainable practices and contribute to a low-carbon economy.
Together, we can create a better future where products last longer, are reused, and waste is minimised. By embracing circular economy principles, we can make a significant impact on our environment and pave the way for a more sustainable world.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in this transition. Their agility and innovative spirit make them ideal candidates to adopt and champion circular economy principles. Supported by Dublin City Council and the Government of Ireland, this initiative aims to inspire other businesses to follow suit.
A key component of this initiative is the MODOS Circular Economy Training course, provided to local businesses by the Regional Waste Management Planning Offices and Dublin City Council, with support from the Government of Ireland. This training equips businesses with the knowledge and tools they need to implement circular practices effectively. The success stories highlighted in Celebrating Circular are a testament to the transformative impact of this course.
