Event Description
Silage Wrap & Rat-Proof Bins – Tackling Waste Challenges on Rathlin Island
Join us for an engaging session delving into two critical challenges raised by the Rathlin Island community. From the widespread issue of unrecycled black silage wrap to the need for innovative rat-proof bin solutions, this event will explore the environmental and practical impacts of these waste dilemmas.
The Future Island-Island project has been investigating the complexities of silage wrap recycling, the broader implications of farm-based plastic waste, and addressing how waste storage can mitigate pest problems. Through this discussion, we'll explore existing barriers and potential solutions, showcasing opportunities for more sustainable waste practices on Rathlin and beyond.
Be part of the conversation shaping a greener, more resilient future for Northern Ireland’s communities and agricultural sector!
