ReWrapped

Our @WrappedRe project funded by the @EPAResearchNews , @Dept_ECC and @RepakRecycling has #wrappedup at the end of 2021! Visit our website to find out about our key findings and download our final project report which is now available! rewrapped.ucd.ie

Research by @WrappedRe found that different labels send out different messages to consumers: >50% incorrectly thought the green dot means it is recyclable vs >75% correctly thought the mywaste label is for recycling. @EPAResearchNews @RepakRecycling @Dept_ECC

Why do we have #packaging on our produce? Well the most important factor highlighted by producers in our recent @WrappedRe survey was 'protection against physical damage'. How do we change this? Consumers need to be heard and to lead this change @NicolaiThorball @EnvDrJohnG

Of 76 producer survey responses to the @WrappedRe project survey, 92% of producers use plastics. However, the type of plastic varies significantly. This presents challenging in #circulareconomy pathways for #plastics in Ireland @EPAResearchNews @EnvDrJohnG @NicolaiThorball

The linear to circular life cycle of #plastic #packaging is currently linear for most types of plastic. How we change this requires data as evidence to shape #policy #infrastructure and #techonology change. @WrappedRe @EPAResearchNews @RepakRecycling @EnvDrJohnG @NicolaiThorball
