Upcycle materials researcher starts

Jessica Miller has started a 20 week research project to look at waste materials in the County that could be reused as part of the Upcycle project. She will look at what already exists, what the potential is out there and what the issues and possibilities are.

Jessica is an arts graduate and uses waste materials herself in her work and is very excited about the synergy this project has with her own ethos. Jessica will be working with Riversmeet and the University of Cumbria's Faculty of Science and Natural Resources to develop the research. The work has been funded through the NWDA innovation voucher, to help businesses develop new areas of work, the result are expected in November.
