About us

 

Sustainable Supply Chains through Innovation (SUSCIN) is delivered by a consortium of leading experts and practitioners in sustainable innovation and procurement that includes The Centre for Sustainable Design, Action Sustainability and Remade South East. The team has recently been awarded European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and South-East England Development Agency (SEEDA) funding to run a series of events, training courses and other supporting activities to help organisations in the South East to embed sustainable procurement and sustainable design/innovation.

Remade South East

 

The aim of Remade South East is to expand the successful waste market development activities of ReMaDe Kent & Medway across the South East of England. The new programme will create and sustain new markets for waste resources in order to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and to minimise carbon dioxide (CO²) emissions through the re-use and recycling of materials.
