Sunflower Recycling was established in Dublin's inner city in 1995, set up with a community development ethos. Sunflower's core principles promote a person centred approach to create employment and combat social exclusion locally, encouraging environmental awareness to the wider community and creating meaningful work and training opportunities within a supportive environment.
