Waste Management: Statements (Resumed).

 

The revised EU directives on packaging will pose a major challenge but we should not lose sight of the fact that significant progress has been made and to date we have achieved the 25% recovery target set for 2002. That is working very well under the industry-based recycling regime operated by Repak, which Senator Quinn mentioned. It is on target to achieve the higher recycling target by the end of 2005. While we have the structures and the policies, we need better action on the ground but many things are happening too.
