Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. The national rivers monitoring programme is run by the EPA. It focuses on the main river channels and includes over 2,800 sites sampled, #WorldRiversDay
Of the 1.1 million tonnes of packaging waste that was created in Ireland in 2019, just 16% was recycled here. Glass & wood packaging made up most of this. Almost all plastic & paper/cardboard packaging was sent abroad for recycling: https://t.co/05VANDCOTJ #IrelandsPackagingWaste
Great News! Soft plastic can now be separated in the recycling bin, allowing it to be recovered as SRF.
Let's make the most of our bins!

Soft plastic is any type of plastic that you can scrunch in your hand. Once they are clean, dry and loose, this includes bubble wrap, crisp packets, sweet wrappers, plastic carrier bags bread wrappers and soft packaging for items such as toilet paper and furniture.
Unspecific soil policies and policy conflicts make it difficult and disadvantageous to implementation improved cropping systems by farmers.
