The Guideline on governance and economic incentives for bio-waste separate collection and treatment, which explores essential governance tools and economic instruments to enhance bio-waste management schemes. This guideline presents practical examples of these instruments in action and includes an analysis of the economic viability of best practices from separate collection to treatment. The guidelines aim to support upper-level authorities in streamlining policy measures and lower-level authorities in implementing effective solutions. They serve as crucial resources for municipalities, policymakers, waste haulers, recycling entities, and technical practitioners, whether they are in the initial stages of bio-waste implementation or have advanced management systems. 

In addition, the Country Factsheets on the analysis of communication and engagement practices for bio-waste separate collection and treatment offers insights into effective public communication and education strategies. This guideline highlights successful experiences from various countries, emphasising the impact of public participation and awareness on bio-waste management schemes. Together with the guidelines on bio-waste separate collection and compost and digestate, these documents provide a robust framework for unlocking the full potential of bio-waste recycling in Europe. 

These guidelines are part of a series of four prepared by the LIFE Biobest project to provide a robust framework for unlocking the full potential of bio-waste recycling in Europe.
