Ms Bernie Kiely:

I do, but at the same time, my understanding of how the scheme operates is that the farmers are given a code at the time they buy their plastic. They use that as part of the return system when they are making a further payment to have it collected. Therefore, if that chain was broken, it would have been outside the IFFPG's system. There is no requirement on the IFFPG to take responsibility for plastic that is under the responsibility of an independent contractor.
