Changing how we recycle could cut waste and save money, Northern Ireland charity says:
"There are probably about four different approaches across Northern Ireland," said Eric Randall, chief executive of Bryson Recycling."For us using boxes, it's very simple because the householders do a bit of the work.
"They put the material into one of three compartments. That means we keep it separate in the vehicles and are able to sell 80% into companies in Northern Ireland."The more it's mixed, the more difficult it is to actually get the quality of those materials to a point where you can actually get them into local companies who require high specifications to make new products.
"But we need to make sure we've got the raw material, not just now but in 10 to 15 years' time, and that generates more jobs here, and then indirect jobs in transport contractors, engineers, etc.Richard Smith of Huhtamaki says the company needs a good supply of raw material into the future"But we've got to make sure that we have access to good raw material now and in the future.
There will also be a consultation on standardising recycling practices, following consultation with councils.
