This can involve using recyclable materials to make a new version of the same thing (e.g. using used glass bottles to produce new glass bottles) or using them to make something entirely different (e.g. using beverage cartons to make recyclable paper bags). 

Over 2/3 of the average household bin is recyclable.  Approximately a quarter of the bin is used packaging that can be recycled, with a further third being compostable kitchen and garden waste.  There is a clear opportunity for Irish householders to make a difference here and contribute towards achieving Ireland’s EU packaging recovery and recycling targets.
