Ireland Exceeds Packaging Recycling Targets

According to published reports Ireland has far exceeded EU targets for the recycling of packaging waste. 

Tony Killeen, Minister of State at the Environment Department told attendees of the 2008 Repak Service Providers Conference, “The recycling of packaging waste is probably the leading Irish environmental success story.”

“For the past number of years, Ireland has consistently exceeded EU and national targets for recovery and recycling of this waste stream.”

Figures from the Irish Environmental Protection Agency show that in 2005, 64% of packaging waste was recovered against a target of 50%
