Gum Litter Taskforce

The GLT is charged with developing and implementing an action plan to tackle gum litter in the most sustainable way – by changing disposal behaviour, the root cause of the issue – by encouraging the public to dispose of their gum responsibly in a bin. The GLT campaign has been developed to incorporate a set of integrated initiatives including education and awareness raising measures to ensure the greater visibility of the €150 fine for littering and reminding people that incorrectly disposed of chewing gum is actually litter.

GLT members

Members of the GLT include representatives of the chewing gum industry; Department of the Environment; Food and Drink Industry Ireland and local authority representatives.
