IRISH Cement has been told it can burn just 12 types of waste material in the production of the building material.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has imposed a reduction on the company, from the 63 it initially had permission to use, down to just 12 now.
It comes as the firm saw its €10m plans to switch away from fossil fuels in favour of solid recovered waste approved by the environmental regulator.
A previous An Bord Pleanala-led oral hearing into the proposals heard that Irish Cement was initially seeking to burn up to 115 different types of waste.
