Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. P.J. Ryan:

It is not just soil and stone. There are other materials from demolition that potentially could be reused potentially. On the municipal waste side, we have all these recycling centres where people can take materials. That infrastructure exists and there is no reason to dump a microwave into the bin as there is actually somewhere now to take it. On the construction side, that infrastructure is not in place so it ends up having to be dumped. We do not have that infrastructure so we need to build all that out.
