What does it mean to join Team Green?
We launched Team Green in September 2018 to help Ireland increase recycling rates for plastic and reduce waste. While working with our Members to reduce plastic packaging and make it more recyclable, we are reaching out to consumers, schools, communities and business organisations to ask everyone to make a difference, by collectively recycling more materials, especially plastic. Through Team Green, we hope to improve recycling behaviour and encourage people to work together to protect our environment by taking these three actions:
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce and reuse, before recycling. Always think about what you are buying and how recyclable it is – reusing before recycling.
Recycle one more piece a day
Save plastic items for the recycling bin, whether at home, at work, at school, or on the go. And think about what other plastic items around your home you could recycle.
Become a recycling champion
Learn about recycling and always put the right thing in the right bin: CLEAN, DRY and LOOSE.

Repak is supporting 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. From April to June 2020, Repak pledged to donate €1 to ‘Feed The Heroes’ on the behalf of every individual who has ever signed up to Team Green.
Repak launched the ‘colour in for a chance to win’ competition in April which invited children to download and colour in posters from its Team Green for Schools primary school recycling resources and add their top recycling tip. The competition also encouraged children who did not have printers at home to get creative and recreate the Repak posters. Entries were submitted to Repak’s Facebook and Instagram accounts over the course of the two-week social media campaign.
