1.0 Waste Policies – a Review of the Existing Framework Irish waste management has made enormous strides over the past decade. The statistics tell a story of impressive improvements in performance in many areas, whilst some of the improvements are not so readily revealed though appeal to statistics alone (for example, with regard to the effects of closing down old ‘dumps’ which posed a threat to the environment). The changes which Ireland has made have been, to a considerable degree, motivated by policies emanating from Europe. Much focus tends to fall upon the so-called Producer Responsibility Directives in this regard, yet the impact of changes to the operation and regulation of landfills has also been significant. This has increased the costs of disposal, and thereby increased the benefits associated with avoiding disposal (through prevention, re-use, recycling and alternative treatments). Recycling, in particular, is likely to have been incentivised by the escalation in landfill gate fees. In this Annex, we outline what we believe to be the salient issues in respect of European waste policy and legislation as it affects Ireland. It would not be possible to look at each and every aspect of each piece of policy. The overview is unashamedly forward-looking. It looks to the future with a view to understanding the challenges ahead, rather than seeking to dwell on past achievements. 1.1 The Priority Status of Waste Prevention As is well known, waste prevention lies at the top of the waste management hierarchy. The status of waste prevention in this respect has been reinforced by the revised Waste Framework Directive (WFD) under Article 4: 1 2 29/09/09 “1. The following waste hierarchy shall apply as a priority order in waste prevention and management legislation and policy: a) prevention; b) preparing for re-use; c) recycling; d) other recovery, e.g. energy recovery; and e) disposal. 2. When applying the waste hierarchy referred to in paragraph 1, Member States shall take measures to encourage the options that deliver the best overall environmental outcome. This may require specific waste streams 1 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 November 2008 on Waste and Repealing Certain Directives.
3 departing from the hierarchy where this is justified by life-cycle thinking on the overall impacts of the generation and management of such waste. Member States shall ensure that the development of waste legislation and policy is a fully transparent process, observing existing national rules about the consultation and involvement of citizens and stakeholders. Member States shall take into account the general environmental protection principles of precaution and sustainability, technical feasibility and economic viability, protection of resources as well as the overall environmental, human health, economic and social impacts, in accordance with Articles 1 and 13.” The above suggests that other than where life-cycle thinking suggests otherwise, prevention and preparing for re-use should be considered priority areas for waste management policy in future. Indeed, the WFD sets out a requirement for Member States to develop Waste Prevention Programmes under Articles 29 to 31: 2 “Article Article 29 Waste prevention programmes 1. Member States shall establish, in accordance with Articles 1 and 4, 4, 4, waste prevention programmes not later than [five years and 20 days after publication of the WFD in the Official Journal]. Such programmes shall be integrated either into the waste management plans provided for in Article 28 or into other environmental policy programmes, as appropriate, or shall function as separate programmes. If any such programme is integrated into the waste management plan or into other programmes, the waste prevention measures shall be clearly identified. 2. The programmes provided for in paragraph 1 shall set out the waste prevention objectives Member States shall describe the existing prevention measures and evaluate the usefulness of the examples of measures indicated in Annex IV or other appropriate measures. The aim of such objectives and measures shall be to break the link between economic growth and the environmental impacts associated with the generation of waste. 3. Member States shall determine appropriate specific qualitative or quantitative benchmarks for waste prevention measures adopted in order to monitor and assess the progress of the measures and may determine specific qualitative or quantitative targets and indicators, other than those referred to in paragraph 4, for the same purpose. 4. Indicators for waste prevention measures may be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 39 (3). 2 Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 November 2008 on Waste and Repealing Certain Directives.
