CIRCULÉIRE members snap up RDS Circular Economy Awards and more

CIRCULEIRE members gathered at the RDS Circular Economy Awards

The RDS Circular Economy Awards recognise Irish businesses and entrepreneurs making a difference for our planet with circular economy innovations.  

Five of our CIRUCLÉIRE members were nominated as finalists -- Rebox, BladeBridge, IQUTech, HaPPE Earth and The Factory. 

HaPPE Earth won the Emerging Business category with their full cycle healthcare bio-digestion system that turns bio-PPE and food waste into nutrient-rich fertiliser with advanced decontamination technology. 

IQUTECH came first in the SME category, as the leading returns management company for telecommunication equipment in Ireland.  

The awards follow a string of wins for CIRCULÉIRE members.  

Late last year, BladeBridge, rezero and The ZeroNet (all CIRCULÉIRE Circular Venture Accelerator Alumni), were successful in winning the 2024 Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme from the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communication. 

Finally, we would like to congratulate three members on their recent Green Tech Health Innovation Ireland wins. HaPPE Earth once again received a win. Members Offerre & DeltaQ (in conjunction with Envetec and Enva) won with their pitch for ‘a multi-faceted solution focused on medical waste treatment and recovery'. Health Innovation Hub Ireland will be mapping their solutions in an upcoming pilot for sustainable Irish healthcare.
