The environment doesn’t need a single day of attention. It needs our attention every day. 🔈

This World Environment Day, we’re reflecting on the impact of our everyday choices and the role each of us can play in protecting the planet.

From recycling electronics to reducing waste and making more sustainable choices, every step matters.

Happy World Environment Day🌍

This week is National Biodiversity Week, and we’ve been getting our hands a little dirty to support local wildlife and biodiversity at our Kilbeggan site. 🧤🪴

As part of the initiative, we’ve begun planting unused areas of our new car park with a native wildflower seed mix. The mix includes perennial and annual species such as red campion, wild carrot, self-heal, yellow rattle, and others designed to support pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hoverflies.🐝

These improvements will also benefit local birdlife, including robins, blue t**s, sparrows, goldfinches, and other common garden and farmland species by enhancing natural food sources and habitat.
In addition, we’ve installed wildlife trail cameras to monitor activity across the site. This will help us better understand how biodiversity develops over time and guide future improvements as we continue expanding our green areas.

RTÉ recently reported that more than 20 million v**es sold in Ireland last year were not properly recycled.🚫

Many people don’t know that used batteries and disposable v**es collected across Ireland end up at KMK Metals Recycling.🔋🪫🏭

As the operator of Ireland’s dedicated waste battery sorting and management facility, we ensure batteries and v**e devices are processed safely and responsibly. Recovering valuable materials and preventing hazardous waste from entering landfill.♻️

Lets take a moment and note that:
♻️ V**es are electronic waste
🔋 Lithium batteries can be recovered and reused
🔥 Incorrect disposal can cause dangerous fires in bins and recycling centres

Please never place batteries or v**es in general waste bins, recycle them responsibly.✅
