Mr. Philip Nugent:

Not even that. The non-clinical waste will have to be treated separately anyway, and that has always been the case. I am talking about the normal output from healthcare centres, which would include residual waste, recyclable waste and organic waste. Up until recently, there was not an obligation to segregate those streams, but now there is an obligation for all commercial contracts to have full segregation.

In addition, it is really important to look at the spend that the public sector has, including bodies like the HSE. Across the EU, it is about 14% of total GDP. Plugging into the procurement end of things is really important for us. We recently published green public procurement guidance for public consultation, which is out for another couple of weeks. That is going to be a really important way of ensuring that, at the outset, all public bodies are fully bought into the circular economy and not just the back-end waste stuff. That will have a significant impact.
