Waterford City and County Council has adopted a single-use plastics policy.
The decision was reached at their meeting last week.
This policy will result in the elimination of single-use plastics from all Council buildings, hired venues, catering and all events organised by Waterford City & County Council.
In addition, all events licensed or funded by Waterford City & County Council will be required to demonstrate measures to eliminate single-use plastics and segregation of waste during and after the event and subsequent disposal.
