The Irish Farm Film Producers Group (IFFPG), Ireland’s national farm plastics recycling scheme, has become the latest organisation to join Agri Aware as a patron.

Established in 1998, IFFPG is the national, not-for-profit compliance scheme responsible for the collection and recycling of farm plastics. The organisation works with farmers, industry stakeholders, and government bodies to deliver one of the highest recycling rates in Europe, ensuring that Ireland’s agricultural sector continues to meet ambitious sustainability and circular economy goals.

IFFPG joins over 60 patrons of Agri Aware, further strengthening the agri-food educational body’s mission to enhance agricultural literacy among the general public. The group brings valuable expertise in environmental sustainability and resource efficiency, helping to highlight the importance of responsible waste management and recycling within modern Irish farming.

Speaking about becoming a patron of Agri Aware, Liam Moloney, General Manager of IFFPG, said: “IFFPG supports fully the ongoing work of Agri Aware to make the wider population more aware of the essential role that agriculture in Ireland plays in terms of food production and supporting rural communities.”

Also commenting on IFFPG becoming a patron was Agri Aware Chair Shay Galvin who said: “We are very pleased to welcome IFFPG as the latest patron of Agri Aware. IFFPG plays a crucial role in supporting environmental stewardship within Irish agriculture and their commitment to sustainability aligns closely with our mission to enhance agricultural literacy and public understanding of the agri-food sector. We look forward to working together to promote the positive environmental progress being made across Irish agriculture.”
