Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

We can say with certainty that last year, we recycled 80% of what our members put on the market. If the Deputy is asking me to guess the size of the illegal market, and there is an illegal market problem, I would say between 5% and 10% of what goes on the market might be illegal. We work very hard with the local authorities that have an enforcement remit in this area to try to address that problem.
