The Claire Byrne Show · Going Green: Do we need a Digital Deposit Return Scheme? · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

And this is one area where we believe it could.

Now, look, it's not going to happen overnight either.

We have.

But the reality is the producers of all the other materials that go in the recycling bin are supposed to cover the costs of what's in the recycling bin.

You know, the cost of processing and all the rest.

So the responsibility lies with them.

And that's that's where it sits.

So, you know, we look, we get subsidies from repack and the subsidies have increased.

So this is not that loss.

OK, well, I can't say that for sure.

But look, there's certainly the subsidies have increased quite a bit.

Well, what we're trying to get is the, you know, the consumers that are not recycling.

OK, so the people who are listening to your show, who are sending those messages, I'm sure are really, really good at this.

And I'm sure you are too, Clare, and so am I. So, you know, that's not what this is about.

This is about the people who don't take the time and effort to recycle these materials that are totally recyclable.

So it's trying to capture the attention of the whole country, like the return scheme has.

Well, I mean, all we want, to be honest, is people to put the recyclables into the recycling bin.

And if that if that was at 80 percent, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Yeah, I mean, that pressure is coming from the EU.

It's the pressure on the Irish government.
