For too long we’ve been living on borrowed time, exporting and landfilling waste instead of using technology to turn our rubbish into something valuable.
arc21’s proposals will provide a positive way to deal with rubbish without affecting recycling.

The technology proposed by arc21 has a long track record of working successfully across Europe and aligns with existing and emerging Stormont policies on the environment, green growth and net zero.

According to the latest quarterly waste figures for council collected waste, landfilling tonnages increased to 65,423 tonnes in July – September 2021.

The past decade has shown us that drastically reducing the amount of waste we produce is going to take years – until that happens, we need to increase our recycling efforts and develop new infrastructure.

Northern Ireland exports waste because our current infrastructure is inadequate for the amount of material we produce.
Instead of waste travelling around the world, we need to build our own infrastructure and develop local jobs.

Paying to export waste overseas is not the way to deal with our rubbish and makes little environmental, financial or policy sense – particularly as the UK CCC has recommended that we cease doing this by 2025.

By being mindful of our own food waste, we can save money whilst contributing to the fight against the climate crisis.

In Northern Ireland, our waste sector is exposed due to its over-reliance on landfilling and exporting waste.
The best way to address our lack of resilience is to address the obvious lack of local waste infrastructure and build new facilities.

Our plans for modern waste infrastructure will reduce both landfill and greenhouse gas emissions.

It’s great that COP26 is addressing methane, especially as 75% of emissions from waste are in the form of methane from landfill.
