About Us

This website has been co-funded by Repak and the EPA with the support of the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It is part of Repak’s ‘Packaging Waste Prevention Programme’ which is a sub-group of the ‘National Waste Prevention Programme’. Repak's Packaging Waste Prevention Programme aims to assist Irish businesses with positive and practical ways to reduce packaging and to promote those achievements to a wider audience.

Part of this strategy is the provision of free Packaging surveys to Repak Member companies. A typical survey is conducted by one of our Packaging Technologists and takes approximately 2-4 hours to complete, depending upon the amount of packaging being used. A confidential report is then compiled and submitted to the Member company with recommendations outlining the main target areas for Packaging Optimisation. Quite often these surveys lead to a reduction in procurement costs combined with a reduction in Producer Responsibility fees after the recommendations are implemented. If you are interested in hearing more about these surveys please feel free to contact us at the numbers below.
