EU recycling target achieved three years early

Thursday, 20 August 2009

Ireland has reached its EU target on recycling three years ahead of schedule, according to Repak.

The organisation says 713,000 tonnes of waste was recycled in Ireland last year, a 9.5% increase on the previous year.

Repak says Ireland now recycles around two-thirds of all packaging, with each household putting an average of more 140kgs of waste in their green bins last year.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.
