"Dr. Sarah Miller is the CEO of the Rediscovery Centre, Ireland's national hub for circular economy innovation. Sarah has been with the centre since its early days in 2004, playing a key role in its growth and success.

We have a fantastic and engaging conversation about Sarah's lifelong dedication to circularity, from growing up influenced by an "army of strong women" as she described, her passion for nature-based solutions, and the Rediscovery Centre's mission to drive public awareness and citizen engagement in the circular economy.

Sarah gives us a 360° tour of various projects at the centre, including research partnerships, impactful social enterprises, and the transformation of their Ballymun headquarters, The Boiler House, into an iconic, fully circular building.

Sarah also shares exciting plans and addresses the challenges of promoting reuse and repair, envisioning a movement that grows in every corner of the country.

Join us for an inspiring episode filled with innovative ideas and practical solutions to create a more resourceful and sustainable society.
