2024 has been monumental in the journey toward a circular economy and waste reduction, not just for VOICE but for Ireland and beyond.

With the publication of Ireland's Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy in March, the Circularity Gap Report in September, and the European revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulations, the groundwork for transformative change has been laid.

Yet, the challenges remain. Ireland’s per capita waste is still on the rise, tightly linked to economic activity, a trend we all notice in our ever overflowing bins!

Amid these highs and hurdles, VOICE has been hard at work, making impactful strides supported by you; our incredible supporters, communities, and partners across Ireland.

Here’s a look back at the incredible achievements we’ve accomplished together in 2024🌟
