Mr. Liam Moloney:

We are certainly 100% committed to supporting Irish recyclers. At the moment, we support two Irish recyclers. There are only two Irish recyclers providing a service in this area. As I said earlier, we would very much like to see a situation where 100% of what we collect goes to Irish recyclers. It makes better sense for everybody involved. However, that just does not exist at the moment.

Although it is very recyclable, the waste stream is quite a challenging waste to recycle. It is not an easy waste to recycle. It involves a lot of investment and an awful lot of expertise. However, our vision for the future is to continue to collect record volumes of material to meet the objectives of our scheme, which are: to offer compliance to our members; a comprehensive collection service to farmers; to always exceed the national recycling target, and exceed it by as big a margin as possible; and to ensure that we have very good corporate governance structures in place.
