Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Anaerobic Digestion: Discussion

Mr. Tony Breton:

There is a target within the waste framework directive to reduce food waste by 50%. However aspirational that target may be, residences, households, citizens and businesses will always create food waste, so we will always have organic waste with which to deal. Our members do not deliberately generate food waste, so in terms of organics, it is a bit of a red herring. We are not there to generate waste. AD, combined with composting, is the perfect solution for the organics that we produce and will continue to produce.
