Green Resources

Sector

In addition to renewable energies, waste management and water supply and treatment are the key resource components of the Green Economy.

Waste management is the most developed of the green economy sectors in Ireland . Waste management policy is set at EU level and a significant body of legislation has been developed since the adoption of the first Waste Framework Directive in 1977. Both private entities and local authorities are active players in the sector.

Water supply and waste water treatment are two vital components of Ireland’s national infrastructure. €3.7 billion was invested in new and upgraded water services infrastructure under NDP 2000-2006; €4.7 billion has been provided under NDP 2007-2013.
