Eyfion Williams, CEO of Circular Economy Wales, said:

By using a model similar toCelyn, Sardinia's small and medium-sized businesses made significant profits last year. Wales is similar to Sardinia, since SMEs make up 99% of all enterprises in the country, so the introduction of a new solution will serve as a strong incentive for economic development.

Welsh Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport Lee Waters said: 

Our economic plan focuses on a broaderand a balanced approach to economic development. Our main goal will be to make companies begin to feel the benefits of using innovative technologies.
