Insight into bio-waste management challenges in the EU

As the European Union gears up for the implementation of its bio-waste separate collection mandate in January 2024, the LIFE BIOBEST project has its policy brief that sheds light on the regulatory and systemic barriers hampering the efficient management of bio-waste. The document, resulting from interviews with over fifteen expert stakeholders across the continent, delves into the complexities and challenges that EU member states face in achieving the ambitious landfill and recycling targets set forth by the EU, alongside the upcoming requirements for bio-waste separation. 

The comprehensive analysis not only outlines the current state of the EU's bio-waste management framework but also highlights the discrepancies in its application and the effectiveness of its enforcement across different regions. With its insightful recommendations and calls to action, it serves as an invaluable resource for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates.
