Today marks the start of Repak National Recycling Week.

72% of Irish adults are in favour of the introduction of 'Pay by Weight' refuse charges according to a Milward Brown IMS survey commissioned by Repak amongst 1,200 adults in July.

EMPLOYERS’ group, IBEC, has backed the Government’s stance on the need for incinerators, even though 33% of packaging waste was recycled last year.

Irish consumers and businesses need to recycle more in order to meet the doubling of Ireland's EU packaging targets by 2005, it was claimed today.
