Mr. Liam Moloney:

There is no doubt that some farmers - a small minority - are not recycling. What are they doing with it? There are various things. They might be just stockpiling it, they might be sending it to landfill or they might be putting it into their wheelie bin, if they are generating a very small volume. We do not want an approach where farmers are chased or there is legislation introduced in this area to compel them to recycle. We want a continuation of the present carrot approach, which is to make it as attractive and convenient as possible. We have found that this gives rise to a huge number of farmers engaging with the service.
