BUSINESSES, organisations, community groups and individuals in Limerick are being called on to enter the Repak Resource Awards, joining previous county winners Limerick Polymers Production Ltd and Castletroy College.
Replacing the Pakman Awards, the national environmental awards will celebrate not only Ireland’s recycling and waste management leaders, but also innovation in circular design and thinking, responsible resource use, and grassroots environmental action.
The Repak Resource Awards are widely recognised as one of the most prestigious accolades in the environmental sector for those who demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and environmental efforts. This year, the awards will introduce two new categories: the Circular Community Award and Circular Design Award.
Repak has long championed innovation and progress in driving Ireland towards a circular economy. Reflecting this commitment, the national environmental awards consist of 12 categories including the ESG Leader Award, Environmental Education and Community Initiative Award and Business Recycling Champion Award.

All category winners will then go forward for the prestigious Overall Repak Resource Award, which is presented at the end of the Awards evening.
Entry is free and entrants are invited to submit their initiatives or projects via the online submission portal. The portal provides guidance and case studies to assist entrants in the process, and is open until Friday, August 29.
All shortlisted entries will be contacted and invited to attend the awards ceremony, hosted by Anton Savage in October at The Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin.
Zoe Kavanagh, CEO of Repak, spoke about the awards, saying; “The awards are a celebration of the people and projects driving that positive change.
“We invite all businesses, organisations, individuals and community groups across the country to enter and share their progress in creating a more sustainable Ireland.”
