For the fifth year Kuwait’s eco en.v REUSE exposition will showcase green companies, retailers, galleries, restaurants, social initiatives, and people.
Re-users of all ways, shapes, and forms are now welcome to apply for exhibition space at REUSE 5.0, an exposition that will take place at the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK) in February 2012. The exposition, which has grown steadily over the past five years, hopes to serve as an opportunity for non-profit organizations, companies, professionals and aspiring creative talents to showcase their accomplishments in the field of social responsibility and sustainability via a range of artistic mediums and interactive activities for the general public. As Kuwait’s premier exposition for eco-friendly thought, REUSE serves as a vehicle for dialogue among the private, public and civil sectors.
