Who is Repak Membership for?
If your business has a turnover of more than €1 million and places more than 10 tonnes of packaging on the Irish market, you have a legal obligation to fund the recycling of that packaging under Irish and EU Packaging Regulations. We have two categories of membership: Regular and Scheduled.
Regular Membership
This is for large companies, such as manufacturers, importers, brandholders, distributors and large retailers. Regular Members pay annual fees aligned to the volume of packaging they place on the market. Submit a query online or download our enquiry form now.
Scheduled Membership
This is for small to medium-sized businesses, such as retailers, hotels, pharmacies, pubs, hotels and restaurants. Scheduled Members pay a fixed annual fee to fund recycling in Ireland.

Most of the fees you pay to Repak go directly to fund recycling in Ireland – household recycling bins, bottle banks and recycling centres nationwide.

As a member of the EU, Ireland must meet a range of EU targets for the five main materials, including very ambitious targets for plastic recycling by 2025 and 2030.
