Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Scrutiny of the Waste Reduction Bill 2017

1:30 pm

Ms Mindy O'Brien:

We have been focusing a lot on plastics and plastic bottles but the deposit would also impact on aluminium cans. Right now, we are only recycling 55% of aluminium cans, which is really low given that aluminium is such a high-value, 100% recyclable material. This sort of deposit would increase the amount.
