Farm Plastics Recycling: Discussion
Mr. Liam Moloney:
The REPAK model works for REPAK. The IFFPG model works very well for IFFPG. As was mentioned, we are achieving an 80% recycling rate at the moment, even though the target is only 70%. To put that into perspective, an 80% recycling level for plastic waste is extraordinary. No other plastic waste stream in Ireland is achieving an 80% recycling rate. Our scheme would be seen as one of the highest achievers in Europe. The system that we operate works very well for us. The system that REPAK operates works well for REPAK.
