NTR may sell waste company

BORD na Móna and the Philip Lynch-led One51 have been tipped as the two strongest contenders in the race to buy Greenstar, the waste management arm of NTR.

The business is worth an estimated €250 million, but that figure could rise if the battle to buy it becomes intense.

NTR would not confirm the sale of the business was under consideration but strongly indicated this was so in a brief statement to the Irish Examiner.
