Enjoy your egg, but recycle packaging this Easter

With more than 35,000 tonnes of used packaging expected to be generated by households over Easter, Repak is urging people to be a good egg and recycle as much of the waste as possible.

Irish people are expected to consume more than 12.5m Easter eggs over the holiday weekend — an average of six per household.

Despite all the eggs consumed, the packaging counts for less than 2%, or 500 tonnes, of all the packaging generated over the weekend.
