Kilkee Chamber of Commerce has negotiated a number of partnerships with companies for reusable coffee cups and water bottles, as well as to provide compostable replacements for items such as takeaway containers and plastic bags.
Locals claim it’s the first town in Ireland to collectively decide to reduce its plastic output – and Kilkee tourism consultant Cillian Murphy says uptake has been positive.
