Call for Kildare sustainability leaders to enter 2026 Repak Resource Awards

Repak is issuing a final call for businesses, community groups and individuals across Kildare to enter the 2026 Repak Resource Awards, with entries closing on Monday, August 31 2026.

The annual awards recognise organisations and individuals delivering meaningful environmental impact through waste prevention, recycling, reuse, refill, resource efficiency and circular economy initiatives.

With the deadline fast approaching, Repak is encouraging organisations of every size and sector to showcase the work they are doing to use resources more efficiently and support Ireland’s transition towards a more circular economy.

The awards are free to enter and provide an opportunity for entrants to gain national recognition for their achievements, celebrate the people behind their initiatives and share examples of environmental best practice.

Recognising Environmental Leadership in Kildare

Repak is encouraging businesses, community organisations and sustainability leaders across Kildare to put forward the initiatives making a measurable difference in their organisations and communities.

Zoe Kavanagh, CEO of Repak, said: “Ireland is making great strides towards a circular economy and that progress is down to the efforts of people across the length and breadth of the country to drive positive environmental change. It’s only right that we celebrate the efforts of these organisations, community groups and individuals, which led us to creating the Repak Resource Awards.

“With the closing date approaching, we want to make sure that businesses, organisations and communities in Kildare do not miss the opportunity to have their sustainability achievements recognised on a national stage.”

The Repak Resource Awards are divided into 13 categories, with the winner from each category progressing to compete for the Overall Repak Resource Award, one of the highest environmental accolades an organisation, business, community group or individual in Ireland can achieve.
