The latest LIFE BIOBEST report exposes systemic obstacles hindering bio-waste policies' implementation across EU Member States. Despite obligations set in the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) and Landfill Directive (LD), targets remain in many cases unmet.
The report categorises barriers by topic, governance level, and bio-waste cycle step (Collection, Treatment, Use of outputs and Quality), highlighting widespread challenges. With insights from 14 Member States, it calls for urgent corrective measures to advance towards EU objectives. Ultimately, the report aims to enhance transparency and foster efficient bio-waste management, vital for achieving sustainability goals.
As a leader of the work package, ECN is pleased to share the results following this link. We would like to thank all the ECN members who provided valuable data to make the final report as accurate as possible.
