Seamus Clancy said that while it is a happy time of year for most people, it is also the busiest time of year for the recycling industry.
Of the 2,653 shoppers surveyed, 72% said they were planning to be more conscious of their waste generation this Christmas. Eighty-three-percent planned to reduce their consumption this Christmas by buying locally, reducing the volume of gifts they buy and buying sustainable gifts.
Rte recycling at record levels. Repeat on repeats.
Thank you
do it and kill 2 birds
Thought it would be more! 😳
If 93% of shoppers receive gifts for Christmas that they don't want what percentage of shoppers give gifts for Christmas that are not wanted? Every Christmas people are caught up in a buying frenzy on the belief that the more they spend the happier they'll be. Maybe next year.
We burned it all out the back in a barrel.
So!! I’m sure those who have fireplaces will burn the paper
Repack is a joke and a significant part of the problem, allowing excess packaging in the supply chain to the customer, cosy cartel in operation.
Just burn it.
Endless mindless consumption is the only thing keeping the debt based monetary system alive, the global debt to GDP is over 350% bretton woods 2.0 is coming sooner than most realize and it will be devastating to most
Paper burns well.
Is that all? Hmmm
Is that what the taxpayer give this guy €120,000+ per annum for? 🙄
Well it wasn't my family as we didn't wrap the presents and bought things that had little or no packaging.
About the same attendance as the League final then
Well if he said it ….it must be true 🙄
It must be the Greta Thunberg generation
Could we not send it to the UK ....
Lucky were using recycled paper and then recycling it
In reality Christmas and Halloween have to be cancelled going forward 🤣 both generate ridiculous amounts of waste . This won't happen because both generate alot of cash including valentines day and St Patrick's day. We only care about the planet when it suits us 🤣😂
Too much crap!
