Repak Pakman 2021 Awards – We’ve been shortlisted!! 07/10/2021

We are delighted to announce we have been shortlisted for the Repak Pakman Awards 2021!


In August we submitted two entries, 'Waste Recovery Operator of the Year 2021' and 'Waste Recycling and Recovery Facility of the Year 2021', and we are proud to be shortlisted in both categories.


From our first win at the awards in 2008 for ‘Recovery Operator of the Year’, we have been shortlisted in categories over eight years, with our most recent win taking place in 2019 for ‘Commercial Waste Recovery Operator of the Year’.


Commenting on the 2021 Pakman Awards finalists announcement, Repak CEO, Séamus Clancy said: “I am delighted to announce the category finalists of the 2021 Pakman Awards, in a year that sees the return of a full programme after last year’s awards was impacted by Covid-19. The Pakman Award is always evolving, and our categories honour the great work of individuals, communities and organisations across the country. 

Despite difficult conditions over the last 18 months, most businesses and organisations have continued to implement exemplary waste management, sustainability, and recycling practices and with both our existing and new categories, we want to highlight these efforts and celebrate their achievements.


The quality and innovation displayed in our entries for 2021 give me confidence that we are making great strides to protect our environment and plan for a more sustainable future. We look forward to welcoming our finalists to the Pakman Awards evening on Friday, 29 October and hope they inspire others to take action too.”


We want to wish our fellow competitors and colleagues the best of luck and we look forward to sharing the floor with them in the Shelbourne Hotel on the 29th of October!!
