2 – MESO Healthcare Sector
12
ì Over 100 waste surveys
ì 37 facili4es, na4onwide
ì Over 50% of acute beds
ì Mostly food, acute waste
ì Now also focusing on water
Healthcare Sector – Food Waste
13
Hotel Sector – Food Waste
14
ì Average food waste per hotel – 50 tonnes p.a.
ì Value circa €3,000 per tonne
ì Total number of hotels Ireland approx. 900
ì Total value: €135 million
ì 25% reduc4on would be €34 million per annum
Commercial Sector – Food Waste

ì Commercial sector (e.g. food retail, hotels, food wholesale, hospitals, restaurants, etc.)
ì €2,000 -‐ €5,000 per tonne
ì Approx. €1 billion waste
ì 25% reduc4on: €250 million per annum savings
Household Sector – Food Waste
16
ì €700 food waste per household per annum
ì 1.6 million households
ì €1.1 billion wasted
ì 25% reduc4on: €280 million per annum savings

ì Resource efficiency improvements could reduce material inputs needs by 17% -‐ 24% by 2030.
ì A beger use of resources could represent an overall savings poten4al of up to €630 billion p.a. for industry.
ì Manufacturing firms spend about 40% of their costs on raw materials, 50% including energy and water.
ì This compares to only 20% on labour but savings ohen only focus on staff reduc4ons.
European Union -‐ Targets 20

!"5%"by"2020"!"20%"by"2050"
!
ì Moderate improvements in RE could be achieved by only ‘slight changes in levels of ac4vity and greater investment in known technologies’.
United Kingdom and Germany -‐ Targets 21
ì UK -‐ Poten4al RE savings in the range from €26 billion to €65 billion, depending on the level of investment.
ì Germany -‐ poten4al savings of €48 billion per annum due to material efficiency efforts in companies from the manufacturing industry in Germany
Comparing Ireland 22
ì Poten4al Irish savings of €3.4 – €6.1 billion?
Data and targets: Ireland 23
ì Baseline Year: 2010
ì GDP: €156,490,000
ì Total es4mated Private Inputs: €40.52 billion per annum.
ì Total es4mated Inputs by Public Bodies: €6 billion on raw materials.
ì A 1% improvement -‐ saving of €464 million per annum;
ì A 2% improvement would achieve an €928 million annual saving
Data and targets: Ireland 2020 24
ì Moderate improvement of 25% by 2020 (half Austrian and German targets) with a low economic growth
ì The following savings by 2020:
Conclusions
ì Resource efficiency is cost effec4ve
ì At MICRO level RE saves money in individual homes, shops, hotels, hospitals, schools, and factories.
ì At a MESO or sectoral level large savings can be made ensuring our businesses and industry are more compe44ve
ì At a MACRO or na4onal level, huge savings can be made, making Ireland more compe44ve, crea4ng jobs and making us greener, doing more with less.
