A lot can happen in 20 years.
And a lot has happened to the way we process waste in this country in that time. That’s in no small part due to the efforts of Repak, who are currently celebrating 20 years of recycling success. What kind of success, you ask?
Well, the nation has diverted over 10 million tonnes from landfill for starters. We’ve also recycled eight billion plastic bottles, seven billion glass bottles, six billion cans and four million tonnes of paper and cardboard. That’s good news for the planet and an encouraging sign of how far we have come in our attitudes to recycling.
So in celebration of Repak’s 20th anniversary, we thought we’d take you on a little trip down memory lane. Just how well do you remember the big news, sport and culture events over the last two decades?
We’ve looked back at some memorable events over the last 20 years and all you have to do is guess in what year they happened. Good luck!
Repak is funded by its members – members who have helped divert over 10 million tonnes of packaging waste from landfill.
These members include supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, shops and many other businesses who produce packaging and are committed to meeting their obligations to recycle their packaging and help pay for the collection of your recycling bins by being members of Repak.
