11 Jul 2023 --- The Alliance for Beverage Cartons and the Environment (ACE) Ireland is calling for the introduction of recycling targets for specific packaging types, such as beverage cartons, to boost the collection and sorting of recyclable packaging. The National Waste Management Plan outlines that Ireland’s recycling rate has shown little increase over the last decade, stating that just 16% of the packaging waste generated in 2019 was recycled in Ireland. The circularity plan sets out a framework for preventing and managing waste in the country between 2023-2029. It includes targets, policies and actions to enable the waste and resource sector to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
