Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Circular Economy in the Food Sector: Discussion
Mr. Tony Collins:
The strategy looks at organic waste in its entirely and food waste is an element of that. As I understand it, and as I stated earlier, there is a potential for 1 TWh from organic waste. From memory, the food element of that is approximately 0.5 TWh so in the scheme of things it is obviously not sufficient to meet the overall objective.
