Households urged to recycle more than just kitchen waste

IRISH households are being urged to look beyond the kitchen for reusable waste as a new study reveals half of the population are not regularly recycling rubbish found in the rest of the house.

Ireland’s recycling rate needs to increase by 15%, which is equivalent to two extra green bins per household, according to Repak.

The industry-funded organisation set up to facilitate and increase packaging recycling found only 45% of households regularly recycled packaging from the bathroom.
