As part of Barry Packaging’s Corporate and Social Responsibility Charter we are a member of Repak – Ireland’s producer recycling fund.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Repak Membership 2011
Our Membership of Repak ensures that we meet our responsibility to the environment and to the Irish public by contributing to the cost of recycling the packaging which we supply to customers.
Over the last decade, membership of Repak has enabled us and over 2,000 other Irish Businesses to contribute over €200 million to support Ireland’s National Packaging Recycling Programmes.
Our contribution also supports:
– Door to door recycling collection services for 1.1million households throughout Ireland.
– Over 2,000 bring banks for glass, cans, plastic and other recyclable materials.
– Up to 100 recycling centres that accept used packaging and other household recyclables.
– Promotion and education of packaging recycling in school, homes and businesses.
Together, we and other Repak members, through packaging recycling, achieve a saving of over 600,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions each year – equivalent to the emissions of over 320,000 cars.
