Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

Our scheme is owned by two bodies: number one, the producers of the farm plastic products who are our members and, number two, the IFA. We are a not-for-profit body. There are many other important stakeholders, not least the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the county councils, the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, our recyclers and our contractors, but our key stakeholders are those who own the scheme, namely, the producers of the farm plastic products and the IFA.
