Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Recycling Farm Plastics: Discussion

Mr. Liam Moloney:

Yes, that commitment was given. However, because we collected such record volumes in the past couple of years, it just put us under a little bit of strain. Certainly, we are confident that, within the next 12 months, we will clear out whatever carryover material is there. Last year, there was an 88% collection recycling rate and the year previous it was 90%. Huge volumes were collected and it put us under a little bit of strain. We were delighted to collect those huge volumes, but we did not predict them. We did not see such huge volumes coming.
