Kinsale bio-waste project leads the way

KINSALE, the world’s first Transition Town, is again leading the way with plans to develop Ireland’s first community run and eco-friendly anaerobic digester (AD), a bio-waste treatment and recycling facility that will produce environmentally friendly fertiliser and generate energy, income, jobs and other benefits for both the town and its rural hinterland.
