This webinar will explore how you can turn your offcuts and craft-making waste into products and why it is of value to do this. As well as looking at what found materials (natural and manmade) are available in your area.

The webinar will include:

· A brief introduction to the circular economy and sustainable use of materials within your business
· inspirational images of products made out of found natural materials and consumer/industrial waste
· An interactive exercise to come up with ideas as to how you can use your offcuts to make saleable craft products
· What’s available for use in the CDI product support space and how to access it.
