An Inspired Recycling product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 21, 2006

Following a successful first year of delivering support to designers and inventors, recycling programme is to be extended to all Objective Two areas in 13 of London's most disadvantaged boroughs.

Following a successful first year of delivering support to designers and inventors, London Remade and Kingston University have reached agreement with the Government Office for London (GOL) to expand the Inspired Recycling programme to all Objective Two areas in the capital.

Inspired Recycling is encouraging, supporting and practically facilitating sustainable design and the development of innovative and imaginative products that incorporate recycled materials.

The programme will be delivered within wards that are Objective Two areas in 13 of London's most disadvantaged boroughs - Enfield, Haringey, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Havering, Newham, Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Hammersmith and Fulham, Greenwich, Brent and Ealing.

The project team will be working closely with area partnerships to raise awareness of the programme.

There will be specific emphasis on engaging with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and business communities within the boroughs and wards now covered.

Robin Snook, Project Manager, London Remade, said: "We are delighted to succeed in expanding the Inspired Recycling programme and can now provide free tailored support to SMEs in 13 of London's most disadvantaged areas".

"We have an excellent record of assisting individuals and businesses in creating and evolving sustainable design projects".

"We are offering a broad range of support, knowledge and expertise that will enable SMEs to consider practically options and benefits associated with incorporating a recycled or reprocessed material within the product manufacture".

"The programme aims to improve the economic performance within areas of industrial decline, urban deprivation or social exclusion".

"The programme is especially keen to work closely with manufacturers to identify new product opportunities and manufacturing process improvements".

"We want to help identify some easily achievable commercial benefits, such as accessing new customers or markets".

"We can advise SMEs about improving manufacturing performance which will lead to lower costs and a stronger net profit margin".
