Redeem Exchange
A FUNDING boost has helped the team at a Greenock business buy an environmentally-friendly vehicle.
Redeem Exchange now has an electric van thanks to a cash injection from Keep Scotland Beautiful and Greener Scotland.
Money from Community Resources Network Scotland enabled the business to add their logo and branding to the vehicle.
The team at Redeem Exchange collect empty plastic bottles of hand sanitiser, wash them, refill them, and get them back out into circulation.
The business was set up after social enterprise Trade Right International, based at Lynedoch Industrial Estate, won a contract to produce 250,000 bottles of hand sanitiser for NHS Scotland at the start of the pandemic last year.
