We welcome Green Generation Ireland and Waste Matters Ireland to the Responsible Plastic Management Program.
Green Generation Ireland has joined RPM Program as an Associate Partner of the Responsible Plastic Management Program! Their innovative and sustainable practices are a perfect fit for our mission to promote responsible plastic management and to assist our clients with projects.
Green Generation Ireland, a family-run business, is making remarkable strides in the recycling industry by transforming mixed waste plastics and food waste plastics into high-value, long-life products. Their commitment to preventing plastics from ending up in incineration or landfill fully embraces the principles of the Circular Economy. Among their diverse range of products are flowerpots, fencing posts, water drinkers, motorway barriers, duct chambers, and telegraph poles, all made from 100% recycled plastics and are fully recyclable.
Additionally, their subsidiary company, Waste Matters Ireland, offers a pioneering recyclable solution for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), preventing it from going to landfill or incineration. Waste Matters offers EPS processing Machines for rental or purchase to potential customers, while some customers avail of their mobile unit processing service.
Waste Matters is proud to be the only Repak registered processor of EPS in Ireland, further underscoring their dedication to sustainable waste management. EPS is a versatile and valuable plastic used in a myriad of packaging applications, offering protection for white goods, electronics, and insulation of both hot and cold foods. EPS is widely used throughout the construction Industry also.
Once EPS becomes waste, it’s attributes (light-weight, bulky, and brittle), are then detrimental for bulking and collection, and individual companies may not have sufficient quantities to attract viable recycling solutions, even if they were to exist.
Waste Matters works with a diverse range of customers, from seafood companies, construction companies, recycling centres & electrical stores offering end to end solution for polystyrene recycling which would otherwise end up in landfill or incineration. They offer compaction technology, collection service, and recycling for a wide range of volumes that satisfy small to large business needs.
Kudos to the Green Generation Ireland and Waste Matters for their commitment to environmental responsibility and for bringing their expertise to our program. We are looking forward to achieving great things together and furthering our mission for a more sustainable future.
