Unique two stage workshops presented by WRAP Cymru and C-Tech Innovation, partners in the REMake project for small to medium sized manufacturing businesses.
These workshops are designed to highlight the benefits of sustainability and innovation in

efficiency, eco-design and Life Cycle Thinking as a means to making your business more profitable.
Split into two sessions, the morning session will look at the wider issues of sustainability and what
they mean at a practical level for businesses, before looking at the available funding and support
through the REMake programme, WRAP and C-Tech Innovation, using examples to highlight the role of
resource efficiency in enduring commercial success.
The afternoon session offers a ‘hands-on’ workshop aimed at introducing simple tools that will help
you understand how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and sustainable design can assist in both assessing
the environmental credentials of your products and making your business more profitable. Using an
