Campaigns

2020 has been a year like no other and we want to encourage the public to support local and shop with Repak Members. We have over 3,400 Members and you can find a full list of our Members here. While shopping local, we want to remind you to put the right thing in the right bin clean, dry and loose.

Join our ambassadors Anna Geary, Paul and Gary O'Donovan, Roz Purcell, Paul McGrath and Bobby Kerr as we launch our 2020 Repak’s Team Green Campaign. Ireland has really pulled together over the last few months. While apart, we have improved our recycling behaviors and recycling rates are up and contamination rates are down. 

We put your recycling knowledge to the test back in April with our interactive polls and now we have launched a follow up campaign to give you all the answers! We will be revealing how people voted on whether everyday items such as, CDs, black plastic trays, bleach bottles can or can’t be recycled.

We have teamed up with football heroes Paul McGrath and Jack Byrne for the launch of our new Snapchat game ‘Team Green Recyclemania’. We are currently promoting the game across Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and on our website. Show us you are a recycling expert with a score of 1000 or more, sign up to Team Green, and you could be in with the chance to win a €100 One4All voucher. There are six vouchers up for grabs and each week we will announce a winner through our social media channels.

We are delighted to add to our range of popular Recycling Hack Videos, with five new short videos answering key questions on recycling topics.  Our new videos will give you quick advice, in less than 30 seconds, on Recycling your Cleaning Products, Beauty Products, Takeaway Packaging, and guidance on recycling items with labels and lids.

Have your say today and vote on what everyday items can and can't be recycled. Complete the polls on our Instagram and Facebook now. Don't forget to play your part for the environment and join Repak's Team Green.

To celebrate the launch of our new website, we have developed a short, animated video introducing Repak and explaining what we are all about. As an environmental, not-for-profit, with a social mission, Repak has a strong purpose and is focused on supporting its Members and helping Ireland achieve EU recycling targets for the five main materials.

To keep those little ones busy at home, we have launched a two week social media campaign that will feature a Colouring Competition inviting children to download and colour in posters from our Team Green for Schools Primary School resources and add their own recycling tips! 

We have supported the heroic efforts and sacrifices made by Irish frontline heath workers by donating €11,000 to ‘Feed The Heroes’, an initiative which was born as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Feed The Heroes is a grassroots campaign, partnering with restaurants, takeaways, caterers and commercial kitchens to prepare and deliver nutritious meals daily to frontline healthcare workers.

Inspired by the ’12 Days of Christmas’ we have launched a two-week social media campaign to promote positive recycling behaviour over the Christmas period, highlighting 12 recycling tips and offering entrants the opportunity to win one of 12 €100 Gift Vouchers from Repak Members such as Aldi, Penneys and Milano when they join Team Green.

We have partnered with leading waste operator, Panda Greenstar, to launch a new joint initiative to support Focus Ireland in its efforts to assist families, young people and children at risk or affected by homelessness. The initiative which is aimed at all commercial businesses in Dublin’s city centre, will encourage offices, shops, restaurants, bars, hotels and supermarkets to collect their plastic recyclables in specially commissioned recycling bags.

Did you know that this Easter at least 1 in 10 will buy 8 or more chocolate eggs! Every year, we see an increase in packaging waste over the Easter period as people give and receive Easter Eggs and other gifts. Find our tops tips over on our Facebook and Instagram accounts.
