Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Waste Policy and Incineration: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Matthew Collins:

The use of landfill results in greenhouse gas emissions that are even more potent because the gas is methane rather carbon dioxide. In line with the circular economy concept, we are keeping the value of resources in the economy for longer by putting them through a waste-to-energy facility, rather than into a landfill.
