The agency said the amount of this waste type continues to increase, with Ireland producing 581,000 tonnes in 2019, up 55,000 tonnes (10pc) on the previous year. Hazardous waste generation in Ireland has been increasing since 2015, driven mainly by increases in incinerator ash and contaminated soils. ....
