IE: Meer huishoudelijk afval naar energieterugwinning
The Irish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released 2013 figures showing that Ireland is sending less residual waste (i.e. typically black bin waste) to landfill and more to energy recovery. The quantity of waste exported for use as a fuel increased by 197% between 2012 and 2013. Although slightly more household waste was collected in 2013, the quantity of household waste managed per person has remained relatively stable since 2011.
In recent years there have been a number of developments in the waste infrastructure and legislative landscape that have led to changes in how residual waste (i.e. typically black bin waste) is managed (Nieuwsbericht EPA, 20 november 2014).
