REMARK PROJECT
GUARANTEED QUALITY EXCELLENCE
What is ReMark?
ReMark, Ireland’s Reuse Quality Standard of Excellence was established to address consumer concerns regarding the quality and safety of reused goods. The project is:
- A pilot programme funded by the EPA
- Ongoing from December 2016 to February 2019
- An organisational level accreditation process that ensures goods are “safe and fit for purpose”
Committed to Quality
Goods are repaired, restored, or ‘reimagined’ by trained staff to extend their usable life.
Committed to Safety
Goods have been inspected and tested to a rigorous safety standard.
Committed to Reuse
Participant organisations establish policies and set goals and metrics that further their social mission as well as the aims of the circular economy.
Why is there a need for it?
According to consumer research we commissioned in September 2017, only 23% of Irish Consumers bought second-hand (reused) goods in the last 6 months.
- 59% Cited Quality As A Purchase Barrier
- 43% Cited Safety As A Purchase Barrier
