Irish Sinn Fein Calls for Better Labelling of Products

Sinn Fein's Paul Butler: With the huge amount of waste we will create over Christmas we need to be doing more to encourage people to recycle more of their household waste.

Dublin – According to the party, Mr Butler said: "The reality is that we are creating more and more waste every year. At least 50% of landfill waste should not be there in the first place. Other estimates of the percentage of recoverable waste are much higher at up to 80%. A huge amount of this is packaging waste from household products. 
 
"At present they are little or nothing on many of the products to inform or encourage people to recycle. Many of the plastic bottles, cartons and other items such as some cardboards and paper products carry no information about recycling. In fact it is confusing to many people which products they can recycle and often people just simply do not bother to recycle. 
 
"At this time of the year when the amount of waste we create due to the Christmas period increases significantly many people still do not know which of their household waste can be recycled. Part of the solution should be better labelling of products to inform people that it can be recycled. Clear labelling and a bold recycling logo on products would also encourage people to recycle.”
