The project “Integrated information and management tool for analysing the potential of biowaste in the European Union” funded by the DATIpilot programme of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims at identifying detailed key data on municipal biowaste management on the organisational level of the collection. The ECN and the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) are the project partners. The project runs since December 2024 and until May 2026 and is funded by BMBF Germany.
The focus of the project is to assess key performance indicators (KPIs), for example the quantity and composition of collected bio-waste and residual waste, and to identify their influencing aspects, for example the collection model. Only the combination of these elements allows the identification of the most effective practices for bio-waste collection and management.
