EXECUTIVE MEMBERS
Born in 1996 in Reggio Emilia, as an idea of the City of Reggio Emilia and the company Iren Emilia, ReMida has since collected within its structures the materials from waste or remainders of industrial and handmade production. In this way ReMida gives anew life to production waste or mistakes, through new uses and functions, including:
Kilograms of company waste saved each year.
Institutions and education services, public and private, that use our materials.
Workers in services for 0-6 year olds that follow our educational paths.
National and international delegations that have followed our continued learning courses.
Children currently participating in our educational activities.
Users currently taking part in our workshops.
Active since 2007 in public events subscribed by Cities, Provinces, and Regions.
ReMida Bologna_Terre d’Acqua is part of an international ReMida network, comprising 17 centers to date, all inspired by the same philosophy of spreading the culture of creative re-use of waste material.
