The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) report recommended that existing national waste management policy, as set out in “A Resource Opportunity - Waste Management Policy in Ireland" should be reviewed.

This review process, which will be initiated in 2019, in tandem with other initiatives, such as the European circular economy waste and plastics legislation framework and reports from the CCPC and the Price Monitoring Group, will inform the development of a future national waste management policy, including our environmental goals, regulatory and market structures, and policy instruments and tools.
