The Waste Management Act 1996 requires Local Authorities to make a waste management plan either individually or collectively for their functional areas. A draft Plan was published for consultation from the 3rd May to the 5th July 2023 and all comments raised in the consultation were considered in the process of the completion of this final Plan.
The Circular Economy Act 2022 is supported by a wider circular policy base which establishes the framework for the national transition to a circular economy. This Plan has been prepared to support and supplement the wider policy base and includes specific targets, policies and actions to enable the waste and resource sector to meet the circularity challenge and accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
This National Waste Management Plan for a Circular Economy sets out a framework for the prevention and management of waste in Ireland for the period 2024 to 2030.
