The plan warns Ireland’s current waste generation rates are unsustainable and have a direct impact on our climate and the use of precious raw materials.
It also provides a roadmap to a more circular economy, including increased waste prevention, more recycling, and improved reuse and repair practices.
This new plan also recommends additional State investment of €40 million to achieve the desired outcomes.
