🌟 Exciting Morning at Shannon Airport! 🌟 We had a fantastic time this morning at Shannon Airport with our fellow shortlisted businesses for this year’s Galway Chamber Awards! It was inspiring to hear about the rich history and ambitious future plans for the The Shannon Airport Group. A special thank you to Airport Director Niall Kearns, CEO Mary Considine, and the operational and security teams for the warm welcome and insightful presentations.

🌍 Sustainability in Action! 🛏♻️ Since April 1st, we’ve recycled 1,238 mattresses at our redeveloped Oranmore Recycling Centre, helping to divert these bulky items from landfill and turn them into valuable materials. This initiative is part of our commitment to expanding recycling opportunities for the Galway community. At Oranmore, we’ve worked hard to develop the facility to accept a wide variety of waste items for recycling, making it easier for households and businesses to do their part for the planet. We’re proud to share that this project forms a key part of our entry for the Sustainability Initiative Award at the Galway Chamber Business Awards 2024. A huge thank you to our team and customers for supporting these efforts. Together, we’re driving meaningful change for a greener future. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #MattressRecycling #GalwayChamberAwards #SustainabilityInitiativeAward #TheCityBinCo #RecyclingMatters

Recycling is easy once you know how!   But, with so many symbols, it can get a little confusing. Our friends in Repak have compiled a simple guide to familiar symbols to help you make sense of it all.   Recycling symbols now appear on everyday items and packaging to keep you in the loop. The symbols will let you know if a product can or can’t be recycled. It’s important that you can identify and understand these symbols so that you can play your part in recycling, always remembering to put the right thing in the right bin, CLEAN, DRY and LOOSE. Visit our blog to read more about these symbols (link in first comment)

Closing the Loop — The Life Cycle of Recycled Products Recycling is more than just tossing your waste into the correct bin. Every item we recycle embarks on a transformative journey, contributing to a circular economy where materials are continuously reused and repurposed. Understanding the life cycle of recycled products helps us realise the importance of recycling correctly. From collection to processing, and from manufacturing to consumer use, every item we recycle contributes to reducing waste, conserving resources, and supporting the circular economy. Whether at home or in the workplace, by making small changes to improve recycling habits, we can have a big impact on the environment. Read more on our website - see first comment for link!
