Together we can make Ireland a greener place
Why you should join #repakteamgreen
If everyone in Ireland recycled just one more piece of plastic every week we could recycle 250 million more pieces of plastic every year!
We are calling on everyone to play their part in recycling more. While working with producers to reduce unnecessary packaging, we are asking everyone to recycle more items at home, at work and when on the go. Remembering always to recycle with care – CLEAN, DRY AND LOOSE.
Together we can prevent recyclable packaging going to landfill, reduce litter, and help Ireland hit its environmental targets. Join Team Green now and take the first step, by pledging to recycle at least one more piece of plastic per week.
+11.4
million more plastic items recycled in Ireland since Team Green launched
33%
of all plastics in Ireland are recycled
Under new EU law we must achieve plastic recycling targets of 50% by 2025 and 55% by 2030. We need everyone’s help to do this. Join today to help reach this target.
