🇮🇪 It has been one year since the launch of Ireland’s #DepositReturnScheme (DRS) for drink container recycling – and what a year it’s been! 🎉♻️ In just 12 months, the DRS has: ✅ Seen 84% of the Irish public participate ✅ Collected over 980 million containers ✅ Achieved a near-50% reduction in bottles and cans being littered Yesterday, Minister for Climate, Environment and Energy, Darragh O'Brien TD, marked this milestone, celebrating the scheme’s impact. In just its first six months, 350 million containers were returned—and that number has nearly tripled by year’s end. This is one of Ireland’s most significant steps towards a circular economy, keeping valuable materials in use and reducing waste. Here’s to building on this success! ♻️👏 #Recycling #CircularEconomy #Ireland

🗓️ Happy #ChineseNewYear! 🎉 The Year of the Snake is being welcomed with great excitement at TOMRA's Xiamen office in China. Colleagues in TOMRA Collection, TOMRA Food and TOMRA Recycling came together for traditional activities to celebrate the occasion, with a rubbing New Year painting, an ancient traditional art in China called "Ta Yin 拓印”. The paintings are made by brushing ink on to a carved block, and then pressing paper onto the block and rubbing it with a tool. Wishing you a prosperous #YearOfTheSnake! 🐍 #Xiamen #HappyChineseNewYear #ChineseNewYear2025

♻ The new Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR) has now officially been published into law. https://lnkd.in/d5MfkbDu Marking a major step for packaging circularity across Europe, the PPWR will replace previous rules with a consistent framework for reducing waste, boosting recycling, and increasing the use of reusable and recycled materials. Here’s what you need to know: ▶️ New recycled content and reuse targets for packaging. ▶️ Clearer, harmonized rules across all EU countries. ▶️ A push for better collaboration and innovation in waste management. Last week we shared what the PPWR means for deposit return schemes, now see our article link above ☝🏾 to learn more about the PPWR as a whole and what it means for businesses, policymakers, and consumers.

♻ 🇬🇧 This week, the path toward a #DepositReturnScheme (DRS) for England and Northern Ireland reached a historic milestone - with the DRS regulations now approved by both houses of parliament. The Deposit Scheme for Drinks Containers (England and Northern Ireland) Regulations were officially approved by the House of Lords on Monday, and successfully passed through the House of Commons yesterday. The DRS is slated to kick off in October 2027. 📆 Every year, 6.7 billion bottles and cans go unrecycled in the UK, with drink containers making up 95% of the litter on beaches. 🏖️ Deposit return schemes combat litter, reduce waste, drive recycling and promote a truly circular economy. For more information about deposit return schemes and the technology that powers them, get in touch with the TOMRA team: https://lnkd.in/dVQfjxBs. #DRS #England #NorthernIreland

♻ The European Union's new Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR) seeks to ensure greater circularity for packaging. What does the PPWR mean for deposit return schemes (DRSs)? 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/dU7mTFvH Bilyana Ignatova, VP Public Affairs and Head of EU Policy at TOMRA, walks through the new regulation, and how it impacts drink container recycling. “The PPWR recognizes DRS as an effective system for single-use and reusable beverage packaging, and provides the framework to drive performance towards 90% separate collection by 2029,” she explains. 🎯 Coming into effect in early 2025, it aims to reduce the environmental impact of packaging, and boost high-quality recycling and the circular economy. It harmonizes rules across the EU to create a level playing field and consistent framework. ⚖️ “With the commitment and innovation of all stakeholders, we can achieve a circular future for Europe’s packaging,” adds Bilyana Ignatova.    #CircularEconomy #SustainablePackaging #Recycling
