IFFPG, the national organisation responsible for farm plastic recycling has
announced a 20% reduction in the cost of recycling for farmers and a further
increase in the number of bring centres taking place this year.

Chairman Michael Slattery speaking at the recent AGM of the Company said,
“IFFPG continues to review its costs and charges and as a not-for profit
organisation we are pleased to be able to pass savings back to farmers The
20% cost reduction means that almost €100,000 is being passed pack to
farmers in reduced recycling charges. The cost of recycling, when the proof
of levy paid code is produced, at bring centres will be €20 per half tonne.”

“IFFPG has also reviewed its number of bring centres and will increase them
to 174. The full list of all bring centres are available on the IFFPG
website, www.farmplastics.ie <http://www.farmplastics.ie> and will be
advertised on local and national papers.”

Mr. Slattery concluded, “Farmers have a fantastic recycling record. 2010
continued the annual increase in recycling, with almost 20,000 tonnes of
plastic recycled. IFFPG aims to build on this record by working with
farmers, silage contractors and retailers to ensure that all plastic
supplied to the market has the Government’s levy paid. This is the only way
IFFPG can continue to provide the most cost competitive national farm
plastic recycling service.”
