01/06/2005 - 07:48:22A study by the EU's Eurostat agency has reportedly found that Ireland has one of the worst records of all member states when it comes to waste generation.
Reports this morning said the study found that Ireland had the highest rate of waste generation of the 25 member states in 2003.
Eurostat also reportedly found that the level of waste generation in Ireland had risen by 42% between 1995 and 2003, when it was actually falling in most other EU states.
This morning's reports said Ireland produced 50% more waste than central Europeans in 2003 and 100% more than eastern Europeans.
