Ireland's recycling tonnes have increased by 9.1% in the last two years, according to new research by Repak.

Ireland’s not-for-profit packaging recycling scheme said the volume of tonnes recycled in the past two years has amounted to 1,314,160 - enough to completely cover the Aviva Stadium over 20 times.
