12 Jan 2022 --- Ireland’s new Waste Action Plan for a Circular Economy (WAPCE), a government roadmap for improving the country’s environmental sustainability footprint in line with UN targets, is coming under fire for using “vague” language and failing to make concrete policy pledges. A cross-party Joint Committee on Environment and Action, which released a report scrutinizing the plan, is “expressing concern” with the government’s limited definition of a “circular economy,” its failure to set real targets or establish any real time frames, and for using ambiguous language that could be in direct conflict with the EU’s Green Deal.
