The Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy

The Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy was published by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications on the 4th of September 2020. This policy document fulfils the commitment in the Programme for Government to implement a new National Waste Action Plan. This new national waste policy will inform and provide direction to future waste infrastructure and management in Ireland. Repak supports this transition as we continue to educate and provide our Members with avenues and opportunities to increase the sustainability of their packaging.

What is the Circular Economy?

Circular economy systems: keep the added value in products for as long as possible and aim to eliminate waste and keep resources within the economy when a product has reached the end of its life, so that they can be productively used again and again and hence create further value.

Right now, 2 million more parcels are being posted a week in comparison to this time last year.
