37.6 Environmental Benefits
Under the National Strategy on Biodegradable Waste, the Government has
established targets to meet for the recycling or composting of household waste for
Ireland. By 2010, 25% of all household waste must be recycled or composted. Under
the EU Landfill Directive, Ireland also has to meet targets for the reduction of
biodegradable municipal waste sent for landfill. By 2010 the amount of
biodegradable municipal waste sent for landfill must be reduced to 25% of the
amount produced in 1995. The development of composting and biogas plants will be
necessary for achieving these targets.
