      Yes, it helps reduce the amount of materials that are wasted. When something is not recycled in Ireland it is buried in a landfill which can cause water / soil pollution and damage not just the environment but also human health.

      Yes because we need to use less energy and materials to make products or packaging and we don’t have waste building up in landfills or needing to be burnt.
