ReMark is a voluntary reuse certification scheme, involving accreditation of a reuse organisation to an accepted operational and sustainability standard.

The scheme’s aim is to offer assurance to consumers that purchased, borrowed, repaired, reused or up-cycled goods, or services rendered from certified organisations are of a high standard as well as being the more sustainable option for the environment.

The ReMark project was carried out in three phases: the development, benchmarking and piloting phases were undertaken between 2014 and 2020 and funded through the EPA’s Green Enterprise Scheme.
Phase three (2022-2023) was funded under CEIGS by the Irish Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications and involved a revision to include more enterprises and services. Seven candidates passed the independent audit required by the scheme and have been accredited.
