To help meet these future challenges, KeyGreen is developing a new state-of-the-art medical waste treatment facility in Lisheen, Co. Tipperary. Located within the Lisheen Bioeconomy Campus, the development will strengthen Ireland's healthcare waste infrastructure by providing additional national treatment capacity while supporting healthcare providers with reliable, compliant and future-focused waste management solutions.
The project reflects KeyGreen's long-term commitment to investing in sustainable environmental infrastructure that supports Ireland's healthcare sector today while helping prepare for the demands of tomorrow.
Investing in Ireland's Healthcare Waste Infrastructure
Ireland's healthcare providers rely on resilient waste management services to ensure healthcare waste is collected, transported and treated safely while meeting strict environmental and regulatory standards.
As healthcare waste volumes continue to increase and sustainability becomes an even greater priority, investment in modern treatment infrastructure is essential. The Lisheen Medical Waste Treatment Facility has been developed to strengthen Ireland's healthcare waste network by providing additional treatment capacity while supporting the future resilience of the healthcare sector.
Why This Investment Matters
The development of the Lisheen facility will help support:
- Additional national healthcare waste treatment capacity
- Greater resilience for Ireland's healthcare waste infrastructure
- Long-term support for healthcare providers nationwide
- Safe, compliant and sustainable healthcare waste treatment
- Continued investment in Ireland's environmental infrastructure
- New employment opportunities within the region
Supporting Healthcare Providers Across Ireland
Once operational, the facility will support healthcare providers throughout Ireland, including:
 Hospitals Comprehensive healthcare waste management for public and private hospitals. |  GP Practices HRW, sharps disposal and pharmaceutical waste management. |  Dental Clinics Healthcare waste solutions for dental practices, including sharps and amalgam waste. |  Nursing Homes Healthcare waste collection supporting residential and long-term care facilities. |  Fertility Clinics Healthcare waste solutions for fertility clinics, including sharps and laboratory waste. |

By strengthening domestic treatment capacity, the facility will help healthcare organisations continue to manage waste safely while preparing for future demand.
A Sustainable Facility in a Strategic Location
Located within the Lisheen Bioeconomy Campus in Co. Tipperary, the new facility benefits from a central location that provides excellent access to healthcare providers across Ireland. As one of Ireland's leading centres for sustainable industry and innovation, the campus is an ideal home for a facility dedicated to supporting the country's future healthcare waste management needs.
The development forms part of KeyGreen's wider commitment to investing in modern environmental infrastructure that supports both healthcare services and Ireland's transition towards a more sustainable future.
Supporting Sustainability and Regional Growth
Designed as a state-of-the-art healthcare waste treatment facility, the Lisheen development represents a long-term investment in sustainable infrastructure. Alongside increasing national treatment capacity, it will create approximately 40 new jobs, supporting the local economy while helping build a stronger and more resilient healthcare waste network.
The facility will also utilise renewable energy to support lower-carbon operations, reinforcing KeyGreen's commitment to sustainable healthcare waste management.
