A major highlight was hearing from Heidi Redmond (Circular Economy Advisor, DfE NI and NIRN Board Member) as she delivered an insightful presentation on Developing a Circular Economy in Northern Ireland. The forum’s key takeaway was clear, community-led actions are essential for driving real environmental change. At NIRN, we believe moving reuse and repair into standard practice requires strong cooperation.
That is why we created the NIRN Circular Resources Library, a member-to-member offering where our network shares knowledge, practical skills, and resources through workshops, site visits, and shared learning opportunities across Northern Ireland.
