Biowaste in the circular economy  
The European Compost Network is organising the workshop ‘Biowaste in the Circular Economy’. This workshop comes at a time when European policy makers have important decisions to make about the sustainable management of biowaste in Europe. This event for key stakeholders in European biowaste management will discuss the current legislative process and practical experiences on the implementation of separate collection of biowaste in different types of European countries.
Biowaste plays a key role in sustainable waste management. Biowaste accounts for the largest fraction (40%) in municipal solid waste. Today, only 30% of biowaste across Europe is collected separately and recycled in a sustainable way by composting and anaerobic digestion. With the new waste legislation more than 60 million tonnes of biowaste could be recycled, which will result in the creation of 52,000 new jobs.
The event will be a key opportunity to get an update on the process and to network with key stakeholders.
 
Under the patronage of Dr Babette Winter, CoR member and Rapporteur of the circular economy, State Secretary for Culture and Europe in the Thuringian State Chancellery.
