Waste Treatment & Disposal in Ireland - Industry Market Research Report

A steady burn: Revenue grows as soaring energy prices push up the value of renewable energy generated

The Waste Treatment and Disposal industry is growing as waste management in Ireland shifts to focus on focused on general waste reduction and the treatment of waste, partly driven by declining landfill capacity. The closure of a number of landfill sites and a frozen Landfill Levy (€75 per tonne) have cut into the revenue generated from providing landfill services. In 2020, plummeting demand from the commercial sector during the COVID-19 lockdowns ate into industry demand, but household volumes surged - not enough to outweigh falling commercial demand, though, with revenue still dropping overall through the year. Overall, waste treatment and disposal revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 3.9% over the five years through 2023 to €860.9 million, including expected growth of 7.6% in 2023.
