The Pakman Awards are in their ninth year and are recognised as one of the most prestigious accolades in the environment sector
Repak today announced that Tipperary business, Kevin O’Leary Tyres, has been shortlisted for the 2023 Pakman Awards.
The Pakman Awards are Ireland’s leading environmental awards, which recognise and celebrate excellence in recycling and waste management across businesses, organisations and community groups. This year’s awards will also see a new individual category, ESG Leader, announced on the night.
Kevin O’Leary Tyres has been nominated for the Tyre Champion Award for its varying initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint through responsible tyre disposal and recycling practices.
Kevin O’Leary recognises that improper disposal of tyre waste can lead to environmental hazards, including pollution and habitat disruption, and has worked to alleviate such damage.
The Pakman Awards are in their ninth year and are recognised as one of the most prestigious accolades in the environment sector, celebrating those who demonstrate and lead the way in their commitments to sustainability and environmental efforts. This year will see twelve winners announced at a ceremony taking place on Thursday October 26 at The Shelbourne Hotel.
Each category winner is eligible to win the Overall Pakman Award, which celebrates outstanding achievements in recycling and waste management over the last year.
Last year’s Overall Pakman Award was won by Limerick Polymers Production for its best-in-class waste recovery facility and efforts to create a truly circular economy for plastic packaging.
Further finalists include Sean McManus Tyres (Tyre Champion), Refillz Zero Waste (Waste Prevention Award), Panda (Waste Recovery Operator – Commercial and Household), DAA (Business Recycling Champion), and Enrich (Innovation in Waste Resource Products or Service).
Another highlight of this year’s awards will see three charities or community organisations, each nominated by an attendee who has a ticket assigned to them and pulled from a charity draw on the night, receive a €1,000 donation each.
