The North West Eco-Innovation Programme

Helping you eco-innovate

The North West Eco-Innovation Programme provided free, tailored support and helped companies exploit the market for sustainable products and low-carbon solutions, we helped companies develop products and services suitable for a low carbon economy.


Improving your Resource Efficiency

The Eco-Innovation Programme HAS NOW ENDED

“We have worked with the Programme over the last year on our carbon footprint and energy efficiency. They helped us with factual investigation into the use of bio fuel. We found their help invaluable and had it not been for their input we would almost certainly have opted for a system that is not only environmentally damaging but not cost effective either. As a direct result of the Programme we have clearly identified areas of improvement to our eco impact and cost effectiveness.”
Ainsley Tidd, Director
AT Transport
