New EU recycling rules prompt warning on Ringaskiddy incinerator

The planned building of an incinerator at Ringaskiddy is the wrong option because of new binding EU recycling targets, Labour’s Sheila Nunan has warned.

The party’s Ireland South MEP candidate has said new binding EU waste recycling targets due to take effect from July 2020 and covering the period to 2035, should prompt a major rethink of the plans for the commercial incinerator at Ringaskiddy.
