Repak hopes to have Easter recycling cracked

Irish households will generate 32,000 tonnes of used packaging over the Easter period — nearly 70% of the Titanic’s weight.

Repak is urging householders to recycle up to half of the used packaging over the holiday period — 98% of which is not Easter egg-related.

Last year Repak helped to recycle 18,300 tonnes of mixed packaging from households over the Easter period — the highest since its establishment in 1997.
