Irish farmers recycled plastic from the equivalent of 18m silage bales in 2022, and in doing so achieved a remarkable 88% recycling rate.

The vast majority of the plastic was collected at the 200 'bring centres' that the Irish Farm Films Producers’ Group (IFFPG) held throughout the summer at locations such as livestock marts, co-ops and agri-merchants.
