The Virtual Trade Fair (VTF) is Ireland’s first online platform dedicated to promoting reuse, repair, and recycling services offered by social enterprises, to promote market dialogue with procurement agents, a key driver for circular procurement in an emerging market. 

Developed by Community Resources Network Ireland (CRNI) and supported by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), the VTF supports Ireland’s Green Public Procurement (GPP) and Socially Responsible Public Procurement (SRPP) strategies.
