Upcycling is trending in a major way.

With everyone on the lookout for easy ways to repair and reuse everything from furniture and food to clothing and household items, saving cash and keeping them out of landfill, an upcoming exhibition is perfectly timed to keep the momentum going in Cork.

The ReUse Republic exhibition will be showcasing some Ireland’s most innovative and imaginative upcyclers, reuse initiatives and eco businesses on Thursday, October 24th, 2019 from 2pm-7pm.

Held at Cork County Hall and free to the public, the exhibition will give attendees the opportunity to meet people involved in various reuse themes; including furniture, food, clothing, paint and more.
