Repak Found Members Dinner

Adrian Goodrich, Repak’s chairman, hosted a celebratory members’ dinner at Dublin’s Westin Hotel to mark Repak’s 10th anniversary as Ireland’s packaging compliance scheme. Attending the function were representatives of Repak’s founding members who set up the voluntary producer responsibility scheme back in 1997

Repak’s CEO, Dr. Andrew Hetherington welcomed the attendees and through them, extended to the wider membership his warm appreciation for their financial backing and moral support during the decade. “I thank you for your unstinting support for Repak that has seen Ireland rise to the very pinnacle of the EU packaging recycling league”, he said.

Adrian Goodrich recalled Repak’s early years which he described as ‘a roller coaster ride’. “The task before us in 1997 seemed insurmountable”, he said. “Today, Repak has the wind at its back and is looking forward to a second decade of steady and solid progress”.

As a memento of the occasion, the attendees were each presented with a print of a specially commissioned seascape by Irish artist John Hurley.
