Repak host their 8th annual national recycling campaign this week with the theme 'Recycle more - Let's get it sorted'. The purpose of the week is to raise awareness of the need to recycle and to educate the public on what and where to recycle.

To coincide with this an Art Exhibition by Robert Bradford entitled 'Plastic Family' is on display in BT2 on Grafton Street. With this exhibition Repak hope to show people that recycled materials have many different lives and can be recycled many times so when you put your item in the bin it is not the end but rather the beginning.

On Thursday the 7th Annual Repak awards will also take place during the week on Thursday the 9th of October at the Four Seasons Hotel, Dublin.  The awards recognise the efforts and ingenuity of its Repak Industry Members, Local Authorities and Collectors in the area of packaging prevention, reuse and recycling.

Repak is also running an educational campaign with ENFO where recycling information will be displayed in ENFO offices for the whole month of October.

Repak Recycling Week runs from the 6th-12th of October.
