Plastic Recycling in Ireland

I sat down early this morning to write a new blog on plastic and what we can do as consumers to use less, when I stumbled across this wonderful video produced by West Meath County Council, that really encapsulates plastic product production, uses and recycling limitations.

It also highlights the fact that as a small island it is not economically viable to recycle our own plastic waste.

There are some frightening statistics which with a little care could be reduced in order to make sure we can save more plastic from landfill.

Hope you find it as interesting as I did.
