Repak has announced the finalists of the 2023 Pakman Awards. The Pakman Awards are Ireland’s leading environmental and sustainability awards and recognise excellence in recycling and waste management among Ireland’s businesses, organisations, community groups and local initiatives.

About the Awards

Now in its ninth year, the Pakman Awards honour organisations, individuals, and community initiatives who have made incredible efforts to make a difference to the environment. 

The Pakman Awards offer recognition to those committed to innovation in waste management and supporting a circular economy in Ireland. Each entrant shows their dedication in their efforts to help meet our Country’s recycling targets set out in EU legislation. Achieving the shortlisting is a great achievement and winning a Pakman Award is highly prestigious.

Shortlisted

Recycle IT is delighted to say we have been shortlisted under the heading: 2023 Community Recycling Initiative. The entry included details on our ongoing electrical recycling initiatives. It focused on our work with South Dublin County Council in running and promoting free mattress recycling collection events and drop-off days which allows people to recycle safely over 7 to 8 weeks each year.

We are really looking forward to meeting all the other organisations and initiatives that have been shortlisted and hearing about their work on awards night.

Each category winner is eligible to win the Overall Pakman Award, which celebrates outstanding achievements in recycling and waste management over the last 12 months. The Pakman Awards will take place on Thursday 26th October in The Shelbourne Hotel. 

Recycle IT is delighted to acknowledge further shortlistings and awards received over the years. Click here to learn more.
