As Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, my role with regard to waste management is to provide a comprehensive legislative and waste policy framework through which the relevant environmental regulatory bodies, including local authorities and the Environmental Protection Agency, operate.
In this context I will soon be bringing forward an ambitious new waste policy which will include a range of measures to reform and strengthen how we manage our waste with a greater focus on prevention through product design and consumer choice.
