Welcome to the Rediscovery Centre


Leading change from waste to resource through re-use, re-design, research and education. The Rediscovery Centre brings together the skills and expertise of scientists, designers, business managers and craftsmen united in a common purpose of sustainability through resource efficiency and life cycle design.

Our mission is to divert waste from landfill, provide community employment and training and inspire sustainable living. We achieve this by developing social enterprises which use waste and unwanted materials as a resource and raw material for new product design.

Our operational processes and programmes provide workplace skills training and development for unemployed people, graduates and the community. Our public training courses, demonstrations and educational activities highlight the benefits of effective resource management and encourage everyone to REDISCOVER the value of waste.
