Ireland second worse at paper recycling

An EU report has ranked Ireland second bottom in paper recycling. The report showed that Ireland has yet again missed an EU environmental deadline, this time on the recycling of packaged goods. Although, we are not the only EU nation that has failed to implement the new EU law. Ireland recycles only 35 per cent of its waste. This compares to Austria which recycles 75 per cent of its waste; Belgium – 91 per cent; Denmark – 94 per cent; United Kingdom – 50 per cent.
