SMILE Resource Exchange is a free service for businesses that encourages the exchanging of resources between its members in order to save money, reduce waste going to landfill and to develop new business opportunities. Potential exchanges are identified through networking events, an online exchange facility and a support team to assist throughout.
At these exchange events and through the website businesses can identify resources they would like to exchange such as resuable items, by-products and surplus products.
All resources offered are either free of charge or below market value. The service is available to businesses in the Clare, Cork, Kerry and Limerick regions. In October 2012, it was introduced to businesses in the greater Dublin area through the involvement of the four Dublin-based City & County Enterprise Boards.
