Located in Naas, County Kildare, the 100-acre facility will be able to process 180 t per hour and is licensed to accept 330,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste annually, predominantly consisting of waste soil and stone.
CDE, which has designed and engineered the plant, said it will process a variety of brownfield construction, demolition, and excavation (CD&E) wastes to recover premium sand and aggregate products suitable for high-value construction and critical infrastructure projects across the eastern region.
The company expects the plant to be operational in March 2026.
CDE Business Development Manager, Garry Stewart said: “This is a welcome step in the right direction, but there’s still a long road ahead. Our partnership with Enva demonstrates the role that private industry can play when it comes to addressing the waste burden and advancing the circular economy for the benefit of all.
“As regulations evolve, there are significant gains to be made for those businesses that recognise the strategic imperative of waste recycling for sustainable business growth.”
Enva’s Managing Director, Richard Kennedy, added: “This facility enables us to meet the increasing demand for high-quality recycled aggregates, helping our customers reduce their dependence on virgin materials, and significantly lower the carbon footprint of construction and infrastructure projects in Ireland.
“It’s a vital step in delivering the sustainable solutions that modern developments now require, while conserving natural resources for future generations and avoiding waste to landfill.”
