New research from Repak reveals that Ireland will generate 95-thousand tonnes of packaging waste this Christmas.
The environmental not-for-profit surveyed 1,397 people in Ireland to find out their attitudes towards recycling and shopping over the festive season.
They are asking the Irish public to dispose of packaging waste in a responsible manner.
Since September, all plastics can go into the recycling bin, so common items such as bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, bread wrappers, and chocolate and biscuit trays can all now go in the recycling bin.
