It is important the material is not allowed to build up and does get sent for recycling. Part of the oversight of the body is to make sure it is sending product to recycling centres. I understand nearly half of the product is recycled within Ireland and the rest is exported for recycling. The management of recycling waste is monitored and enforced by local authorities. There are strict rules on what can be done with waste and that applies in many other sectors as well. If the Senator is asking if I am worried that the material will never be recycled, I am not, but I am keen that all the rules and regulations are being followed correctly and that there is compliance with all of the rules.
