For a small island nation, we are heavy hitters when it comes to sports. The country cheered on Kellie Harrington as she won gold in the Olympics, the Irish rugby team as they won a historic match (and series!) against the All Blacks in New Zealand for the first time and who could forget Rachael Blackmore winning the Aintree Grand National?

In 2019, a third of our waste, 1.2 million tonnes, was exported for recycling. However, once it leaves our shores, we don't know where it ends up and have no control over whether it's even recycled. The current system is not sustainable… but what if, what we're throwing away as "waste", is not just salvageable, but rich in resources?
