Waste Matchers launch SMILE.
Waste Matchers – the re-use project – has announced a new service called the SMILE Network.
The SMILE Network encourages collaboration between businesses through networking events in order to save costs and help the environment.
At these events, businesses can offer items such as surplus products, byproducts, reusable items, office/warehouse space or logistics and acquire similar items from other businesses. All items offered will be either free of charge or below market value.
The first event will take place on 25th March 2010 at the Oriel House Hotel, Ballincollig, Co. Cork (9.00-14.00).
Funded by South Cork Enterprise Board, this event is free of charge and open to business from the majority of sectors.

The Smile Network sounds like a great idea. Getting businesses to interact with one another and offer reusable items through a networking community will help in reducing the amount of waste that would potentially head to a landfill. My company ExchangeBase.com has a built a similar community online and can be accessed any time. http://www.ExchangeBase.com offers a community that’s open all of time… A great place to go between networking events.
