Repak have announced that the 2022 Pakman Awards will close for entries next month, on Friday 23rd September.
In it's eighth year, Ireland’s National Environmental Awards recognises excellence in recycling and waste management across organisations, businesses, community groups and individuals in Ireland.
This year, ten Pakman awards will be up for grabs, including Community Recycling Initiative, Waste Prevention Award, Business Recycling Champion as well as the Overall Pakman Award.
Over the last eight years, the Pakman Awards has recognised individual environmental champions, rewarding sustainability leaders including five previous winners from Cork – IRD Duhallow Furniture REVAMP, Good Fish Processing, University College Cork (UCC), Macroom E and Forge Hill Recycling Ltd.
Commenting on the 2022 Pakman Awards, Séamus Clancy, CEO of Repak said:
“Several businesses, individuals and community groups from Cork have been recognised at previous Pakman Awards for their inspiring sustainability efforts. The Pakman Awards offer not only businesses and organisations but community groups and individuals the opportunity to showcase their best practices and innovation in recycling and waste management. We would like to encourage all organisations, businesses, community groups and individuals in Cork to enter this year’s awards and inspire others to follow their lead in doing all they can to protect the environment. The efforts of all those previously recognised at the Pakman Awards as well as this year’s entrants are critical to ensuring Ireland continues its journey to becoming a more sustainable nation.’’
