Workshop: Are your decisions waste-ful?

  • Brink! Belfast Stories Union Street Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT1 2JG United Kingdom (map)

In this workshop we will look at common products that we buy to see what they are made of and how easily they can be recycled. 

There is currently a lot of work going on to produce “greener” packaging, but what is true and what is greenwashing?  This workshop will help inform you about how to make more environmentally friendly choices when purchasing. 

Led by: Patrick Duggan, Sustainability Sector Specialist – Plastics Recycling, WRAP, with support from Bryson Recycling. 

Paddy Duggan, Plastic Sector Specialist, WRAP – Paddy joined WRAP in April-22 bringing a wealth of experience of packaging materials after 20 years within the FMCG food and dairy industries. Paddy currently works on all Targets within the UK Plastic Pact, focusing on difficult to recycle materials. His knowledge within these sectors plus projects will increase the overall recycling rate and recycled content, contributing towards the Plastic Pact Targets.
