5361- Kilmainhamwood Compost Facility Extension- EIS
within the Greater Dublin Area. In addition, there are also sites with planning permission for biological
treatment facilities in the Greater Dublin Area. If constructed and approved by the Department of
Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, such facilities could accept and process biowaste. Existing facilities
and facilities with planning permission include:
• Greenstar Millennium Park, Dublin (50,000 tpa);
• Nephin Trading Ltd, Co. Kildare (65,000 tpa);
• Drehid Waste Management Facility, Co. Kildare (25,000 tpa);
• Organic Gold in Co. Meath (25,000 tpa);
• Panda Waste in Co. Meath (20,000 tpa); and
• Enrich Environmental in Co. Meath (20,000 tpa);
It should be noted that the above facility details are based on the best data available at the time of
writing. The proposed facilities at Kilshane Cross and the Ballyogan Recycling Park in County Dublin
have not been included, as the relevant Dublin local authorities have stated that the current tender
process for these facilities will not be progressed further. In addition, there is no certainty that all of the
above facilities will be developed. It is likely that some of the facilities listed above (if developed) will be
constructed as MBT (Mechanical and Biological Treatment) facilities for the stabilisation of the organic
fraction within residual waste. Therefore the potential biological treatment capacity (for source
separated biowaste) in the Greater Dublin Area will be further reduced by this likely scenario.
Figure 4.5 illustrates the potential biowaste arisings in the Dublin and North East Regions and the
existing Animal By-Products approved facility (Kilmainhamwood Compost) and proposed facilities that
could potentially have biological treatment capacity in the future.
