Waste Statistics Data Archive

The EPA Circular Economy and Waste Statistics team is responsible for compiling national statistics on waste generation and management in the Republic of Ireland across multiple waste streams.

National circular economy and waste statistics are prepared to fulfil a number of statutory European and international reporting obligations including:

EU Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/ EC as recast by 2018/851/EC;
EU Waste Statistics Regulation 2150/2002/ EC as amended;
Directive 1999/31/EC as amended, on the landfill of waste;
S.I. No. 282/2014 - European Union (Packaging) Regulations 2014;
The Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal;
WEEE Directive (2012/19/EC); and
ELV Directive (2000/53/EC

The EPA has been compiling data for these reporting obligations for over 20 years. Below is a data archive compiled from previous annual reports published by the EPA and data that have previously been available on our webpage.
