Ireland’s Circular Economy Programme is the driving force for Ireland's move to a circular economy. This Programme was established in 2021 and is led by the EPA. It incorporates and builds upon the previous National Waste Prevention Programme to support national-level, strategic programmes to prevent waste and drive the circular economy in Ireland. The vision for the Programme is an Ireland where the circular economy ensures that everyone uses less resources and prevents waste to achieve sustainable economic growth.
