Our latest article is now live on the Panda blog, looking behind the scenes at one of our biggest transformations yet and the people who helped turn blueprints into behaviour, moving parts into momentum, and change on paper into change people could actually feel.

Sorting your electronics correctly doesn’t just help power down the clutter. It helps valuable materials stay in circulation and the scale is simply impressive; last year alone, WEEE Ireland collected nearly 39,000 tonnes of e-waste from all across the country, (the weight of 7,425 Panda truckloads!)⚡ And that’s before counting the items collected through ERP Ireland's free drop-off events 👀

A steel frame doesn't look like much yet, but this one's part of a bigger story.

Come with us behind the scenes at our new Materials Recovery Facility taking shape at our Panda Cross Green site in Leeds, one piece of the infrastructure investment behind our 2025 Sustainability Report. We set out to grow our processing capacity by 400,000 tonnes by 2026, and got there early, with over 1 million tonnes added cumulatively across Ireland and the UK.

Not the flashiest stage, but definitely one of the most important. ♻️

Our Panda Family Fun Day was back last weekend, and what a turnout it was 🐼

Over 1500 Panda colleagues brought their families along to Fairyhouse, making it the biggest Family Fun Day we've had yet. The kids didn't stop all afternoon, between the Bin Hunt, the Bounce Zone, rides, live music and goodie bags packed with surprises.

We were also delighted to raise €6,000 for Barnardo's. Their team ran a Wellness Area with family yoga and Breath, Body & Mind sessions, giving everyone a chance to pause and enjoy some quiet time together. The money raised will go directly towards supporting local children and families through their services.

Thank you to everyone who came along. We're already looking forward to next year's Family Fun Day. 💚

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of supporting the DIY SOS Bray Big Build, where an incredible group of volunteers, crew and community members came together to help create a new home for Hannah and her family.

Our bins and skips were there to help things moving, making space and giving everything a place to go. But watching the kindness, generosity and teamwork around us was the real highlight.

A huge well done to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and made this happen. Hannah’s new home is a reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together. 🏡💚

This is what a partnership in progress looks like.

Organic waste converted to energy. A full Cat 1 to Cat 3 transition live under four months. An overhaul that touched every corner of their Irish operations with zero disruption along the way.

Still live. Still building. And firmly heading in the right direction.

As Michael Loughran, Head of Procurement and Sustainability, dnata Catering & Retail, Ireland, put it best: “Panda helped us take a more structured approach to waste management. Their practical expertise supported our sustainability objectives and contributed to measurable results.”
