Welcome to Repak’s “Prevent and Save” website dedicated to optimising all packaging placed onto the Irish market.
Our aim is to highlight methods which have a proven record of reducing the amount of unnecessary packaging on the market and to introduce new ideas to compliment these actions.
One of the tools we use to help make this happen is our free-to-members 'Packaging Optimisation' surveys where a packaging expert conducts a site visit and then makes recommendations in a follow-up confidential report. For more information on this service please click here.

€211 million Savings due to Packaging Reduction
The 2012 Repak Member's Conference saw the launch of an in-depth report by Dr. Pat McCloughan of PMCA Economic Consulting into the savings gained by Repak Members through packaging reduction and minimisation initiatives. This report estimates that since 2005 Repak members have saved almost €211 million through designing waste out of their packaging systems and materials. This figure has factored-in the recent recession by pegging data against the Retail Sales Index meaning the resultant €211 million savings are independent of the downturn in the economy.
