Environmental Protection Agency report found only 29% of plastic packaging recycled in 2022, compared to 2025 EU target of 50%

IWMA spokesman Conor Walsh said because Ireland did not include tonnage of garden and municipal park waste, the tonnage per citizen was skewed. “We need to convince the EU that it is not always comparing like with like,” he said.

“Recyclable waste plastic in the correct bin is valuable, there is no incentive to incinerate it”, he said.Mr Walsh did say that figures could improve if municipal authorities had on street facilities for people to segregate waste, instead of single litter bins. Weee Ireland, a compliance scheme for producers of waste electrical and electronic equipment noted new home technologies such as solar PV panels and heat pumps, for example, “are large tonnage items which now have a lifespan of more than 15-20 years thanks to innovation by the producers”.
