Recycling Week 2009

Repak Recycling Awards

This year the Repak Recycling Awards take place in The Croke Park Conference Centre, Dublin on Thursday 15th October at 12.30pm and attendance is by invite only.

The awards recognise the efforts and ingenuity of its members, local authorities, collectors and young people in the area of packaging prevention, reuse and recycling. The objective of the Repak Recycling Awards is to promote and encourage good recycling practice amongst industry, local authorities, waste contractors and our youth.

The Repak Recycling Award trophy is made from recovered and recycled glass, wood, steel and plastic. These represent the four material packaging types. The award was specially commissioned by Repak and was crafted by artist Ronan Halpin based in Kilkenny.
