Mr. Giovanni Impoco:

In Amsterdam airport Philips provides the lighting service. In that case the airport pays less upfront costs and all the responsibility and the materials used are the responsibility of Philips. The circular economy comes in. You do everything, still have the value, they can sell the full vision and Amsterdam airport receives more frequent upgrades.

As was said, some infrastructure is missing in Ireland. For instance, we already have some good examples of extended producer responsibility, such as WEEE Ireland, Repak and for tyres, but unfortunately there is nothing at the construction level, which would be good.

The Senator also spoke about materials. Certification is an issue, but the problem can also be tackled with material passports which are coming in the new regulation in a few years.
