Foreword from our ChairmanDear Cré Members,

Welcome to the 2017 edition of the new Cré Diary - we trust that you will find it a useful addition toyour desk. We would like to say a very special thank you to those who made this publication possibleby placing support advertisements. I trust you will in turn support them in their business.

We are continuing to promote the benefits of Composting and Anaerobic Digestion, making certainthat all stakeholders, industry partners and key decision makers are up to date with the status of oursector.

The non-implementation of “Pay by Weight” was a serious blow to the development of the sectoras it was seen as a very transparent method of increasing the volume of Brown Bin and Organicsbeing presented for processing. Unfortunately time and investment have been wasted and onceagain a new plan must be developed. Facts speak for themselves – there has been no increase in thecollection of Brown Bin in recent years and close examination of the figures show a decline. We callon the government to urgently reverse this trend with practicable, cohesive and sustainable measures.

Two principle policies remain top of our agenda:1. Brown Bin – Increase in presentation levels2. Support Mechanisms for Biomethane, Heat and Electricity.

We continue to work closely with the Irish BioEnergy Association through the Anaerobic DigestionPolicy group and thank those dedicated people for all their hard work.

I wish to thank Mr Fiacra Quinn who has recently stepped down after many years of voluntary workwith the Cré Board. Although Fiacra had no direct link with the Composting/AD Sector, he gave verygenerously of his time and experience. We will definitely miss his input but we wish him well in hiscurrent and future endeavours.

On your behalf, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Percy Foster for his hard work,loyalty and dedication. Percy is always at the forefront of development - often a lonely place.

As always, there are so many people (Directors, Committee Chairs, Delegates, etc) who contributeto the organisation and I thank all of them on your behalf.

Above all, I want to take this opportunity to thank you our Members for your support and to wish youall a very successful 2017.

Is mise le measMartin EvesChairman of Cré

DavidMcDonnell (Green Gas AD) and Percy Fostergave presentations on biogas and

composting. The course was well attended byover 30 vets.EU ABP Regulations: Under the draftFertiliser Regulations, it is proposed that the‘end point’ be defined when the Animal By-Product regulations do not apply. This hasbeen a key thing Cré has been promoting inBrussels and attended two meeting with theDirectorate General for Health andConsumers (SANCO) over the last few yearspromoting this concept.

ANAEROBIC DIGESTIONA delegation from Cré and Irish BioenergyAssociation (IrBEA) had a joint meetingwith the Department of Energy,Communication and Natural Resources todiscuss the consultation on electricity and theRenewable Heat Incentive.Cré (David McDonnell, Morgan Burke andPercy Foster) provided Cré’s Planning for anAD Plant course to seven staff at theSustainable Energy Authority of Ireland(SEAI).Members of the Cré’s Anaerobic Digestion(AD) committee met with the IrBEA twice.The two Associations hired an EU expert toprepare a short report on the potential ofanaerobic digestion in Ireland.

All households in County Westmeath, which havea regular kerbside refuse collection service, areserved by a two-bin system as a minimum, withmany in the larger towns and villages served by athree-bin system with separate collections oforganic material, recyclable materials and residualwaste. The move to pay-by-weight from July 2016will result in a significant increase in the number ofhouseholds served by a three-bin system, in linewith the objectives of the Eastern-Midlands RegionWaste Management Plan 2015-2021.

The Eastern-Midlands Region Waste ManagementPlan provides a framework for the prevention andmanagement of waste in a sustainable manner inthe Region. The three key objectives of the Plan are:Prevent waste: a reduction of 1% per annum in theamount of household waste generated over theperiod of the Plan. More recycling: increase therecycle rate of domestic and commercial wastefrom 40% to 50% by 2020. Further reduce landfill:eliminate all unprocessed waste going to landfillfrom 2016

Central to the above will be the increase incollection of organic waste from households inparticular.
