On Thursday, October 24, 2024, the winners of the 2024 Pakman Awards will be announced at an exciting ceremony at Dublin's Shelbourne Hotel.
Now in its 10th year, the annual awards are regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in the environmental sector, honouring those who lead in sustainability and environmental efforts across businesses, organisations, and community groups.
This year’s awards will celebrate 12 winners, and feature two new categories: Best Deposit Return Initiative and Best Single Use Plastic Initiative.
Each category winner is eligible for the Overall Pakman Award, which celebrates outstanding achievements in recycling and waste management over the past year.
A highlight of this year’s awards will be a charity draw, where three nominated charities or community organisations, each selected by attendees, will receive a €1,000 donation each.
