The company launched operations in Ireland in 2005, following its success and expansion across Europe.   Nowadays, ERP Ireland has 6 employees and 202 customers and provides WEEE and Waste Battery compliance and a B2B service to members.   James Burgess, Country General Manager of ERP Ireland underlines that: “Working on behalf of our producer members in the WEEE and Battery industry for over the past two decades, ERP Ireland has made a significant contribution to the circular economy, and we are very proud of this achievement. Consumers are increasingly more environmentally aware and over the past twenty years we have seen peoples’ recycling activities change for the better. I would like to thank all stakeholders - our members, our board, the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, the Producer Register, the Environmental Protection Agency, Local Authorities, WERLAs, our waste contractors and the general public for their support in making the WEEE and Battery regime in Ireland the success it is today and we commit to continuing to work towards creating a more sustainable future for all.”   To learn more about how ERP Ireland is making an impact visit: www.erp-recycling.ie #EPR #compliance #PRO #circulareconomy #sustainability #makinganimpact
