Macroom group joins EU fight on plastic

An organisation based in mid-Cork has been selected to work with an EU initiative to turn the tide on marine litter.

Macroom E, an enterprise initiative focusing start-up and growing business, has been tasked with locating and encouraging businesses to convert recycled material into saleable products.

It has been asked, along with bodies in England, Norway and Greenland, to help in the battle to tackle discarded plastics and other potentially reusable products, such as trawler nets, dumped in our oceans on a near daily basis.
