Assessing the best use of a reliable resource
Like many other European countries Ireland recognises the requirement for an integrated approach towards waste prevention, recycling and biological and thermal processes, followed by residual landfill.
This integrated approach is already delivering signifi cant results: the national municipal recycling rate is up to 34% and growing. But what will be done with the 50% to 60% of residual waste?
There are many technologies employed across Europe which generate energy from residual waste. Notably, these countries experience the benefits of this form of renewable power, while retaining high recycling levels in their waste management strategy.
This conference brings together top speakers from policy and government, planning and finance, and examples of various technologies. It considers the most efficient use of the energy generated, the arguments for and against thermal techniques and closes with a debate, asking whether Waste from Energy will have a role to play in Ireland's waste management future.
This is a unique opportunity to add your comments to the discussion and ensure you have the most up-to-date information available.
