Looking for business with innovative ideas for recycling
In the U.S 2.7% of GDP is spent on Research and Development. In Europe we only spend 1.9%. By investing into R&D, intellectual property is created; IP gives you the right to power through IPR. Markets shift and innovate through growth. To gain competitive edge Europe needs to innovate.The European Commission have made available €52 Billion and to be spent over 7 years) this money is made available for company’s to invent/innovate and establish new markets with new products/process with defined market pull. This money is found at available to all European enterprises at www.cordis.luEurope wants to improve its 1.9% GDP to 3.0% this will make Europe a knowledged based economy. By owning the important patents of the world Europe will not have to compete with low labour rates outside Europe.Who gets the €52billion?? UK and Mainland European industry, any company can tap into the 100% funded resource, in fact over a 3rd of the budget is allocated for small to medium sized enterprises . 90% of Europe’s enterprises are small or medium (less than 250 employees) SME’s add up to 75% of Europe’s economy. My role in my organisation is to socialise with industry and look for company’s that have great innovative ideas “In a new risky market” but may lake the money or high science needed to achieve these ventures. Health and Environment Research Institute UK have a clean hands approach to IPR and can be paid 100% by the EC to work on your behalf, so no need to dilute your equity through a VC. Creating a new product in a unproven market is terribly risky but highly profitable if done correctly for the owner of the IPR. If you would like HERI to remove the risk out of product development, visit http://www.uk-heri.org/land Ben Dobie - UK Health and Environment Research Institute

ReUseItAll.com - new website for reducing waste and getting free stuff
This website lets you offer unwanted stuff for free instead of throwing it away.Many things that we throw away could be re-used by other people, who would be happy to come and pick them up. We hang onto a lot of things we don't want just because they are too difficult to get rid of, like bulky items of furniture. This could all find new homes with someone else.As well as domestic stuff, you can also list industrial/commercial waste products, by-products or surplus materials.If you are a business it could save you lots of money in disposal costs, besides reducing landfill.Go to http://www.reuseitall.com and check it out!

Batteries
As my wife will no doubt confirm, I have a LARGE (and I do mean LARGE) collection of AA batteries that my digital camera has chewed up. I don't want to landfill the little blighters. I thought of dumping them on the street and taking a cheeky photo of them to send into your LoveLewisham site...but I'd rather dispose of the responsibly. Any ideas how, in the lovely borough of Lewisham?Thanks you guys - you do a FANTASTIC job.Recycling - the possibilities are endless!!
