Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Collection and Recycling of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

Yes, and as explained at the previous meeting, although we receive 100% of the levy and may recycle 70% or 80% in a given year, recycling costs have been extremely high for the past number of years. Unfortunately, all that money is required at the moment to recycle the volume of material we collect. If the recycling costs reduce in the future, as we hope will be the case, then we will reduce both the levy and the collection charges to farmers. That is how we will address that situation.
