Recycling only works if strong markets exist for the recovered materials.  Remade Essex was formed in 2000, with the support of all local authorities in Essex, to create new markets and secondary uses for recycled materials in the County. 

The project aims to:

- Help Essex businesses exploit the opportunities arising from the increased re-use of materials

- Encourage capital investment in new reprocessing capacity in the County

- Develop new added value markets for secondary materials in Essex

- Help to create jobs by expanding the environmental technologies sector in Essex

- Maximise recycling rates in Essex
