Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion

11:00 am

Ms Marion Jammet:

I will ask Mr. Impoco to come in on that. It is always difficult to give an exact number but the Deputy is right; what is missing is targets for larger projects. Mr. Impoco can expand on this but in Italy there are targets for reuse and recycling. In France, a certain percentage of bio-based material must be used. The whole idea is to use public procurement to drive change in the market.
