TAG NI, CIWM NI and LARAC (NI) are jointly hosting a technical talk to explore the findings from the FlexCollect collection trials on plastic bags and wrapping. This session will delve into what the data reveals about the feasibility and effectiveness of collecting these materials at the kerbside, and what it might mean for the future of collections, sorting, and reprocessing infrastructure in Northern Ireland. Whether you're a council, waste operator, or recycler, this is a valuable opportunity to gain insights and discuss the practical implications for improving plastic film recycling across the country. Speakers include Gareth Morton (Ecosurety) and Oliver Morrall (Suez Recycling and Recovery UK).
Please note, breakfast will be provided so we will be asking for dietary requirements and allergies upon booking.
