The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) is seeking input from businesses and the wider public on its proposed Plastic Pollution Plan for Northern Ireland (PPP NI).
This consultation presents an opportunity for local businesses, community groups, and individuals across Omagh and beyond to have their voices heard on one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time — plastic pollution.
Why It Matters for Local Businesses
The Plan aims to support the shift toward a circular economy by encouraging practical steps to eliminate plastic waste. For businesses, this could mean future incentives for sustainable practices and new opportunities in waste reduction, recycling, and innovation.
DAERA is particularly keen to gather views that will:
-
Inform the development of effective policies to eliminate plastic pollution;
-
Broaden understanding of the challenges and opportunities linked to plastics across different sectors;
-
Identify ways to encourage positive environmental action in communities and workplaces.
