Collection of Farm Plastics: Discussion

Ms Bernie Kiely:

In other schemes, for example, in textiles, it is a new requirement from the EU to require the setting up of a new extended producer responsibility for textiles. We have had a number of bodies approaching us saying that would be willing to run a scheme. There is appetite out there where there is a prospect of being able to do business successfully. I would not think it was so much that it is not known to producers because all of the producers are members of the IFFPG. There are no other producers operating.
