Public Consultation: Waste Collection Market Feasibility Study

03/06/25 We welcome the opportunity to make Ireland's waste collection system better. VOICE estimates that following current trends, Ireland is in significant danger of failing to achieve targets for packaging waste as set out in the PPWR, on track for a 64% increase by 2040 rather than the targeted 15% decrease, 98% of people we surveyed are frustrated with the quantity of waste that needs to be segregated, while the EPA has highlighted increasing levels of contamination in bins, and decreasing recycling rates over the last 5 years, warning of impending missed municipal and packaging recycling targets.
