Guideline to promote quality compost and digestate

The D3.3 Guideline on quality compost and digestate, published as part of the LIFE BIOBEST project, breaks down the treatment technologies and resources that support the production of compost and digestate. The guideline provides insights about the processing options, analysis of product characteristics, quality assurance systems as well as related EU legislation and the ECN quality assurance scheme.

This guideline, along with three additional guidelines on bio-waste separate collection, governance and economic incentives, and communication and engagement practices, aims to support upper-level authorities in streamlining policy measures and lower-level authorities in implementing effective solutions. The guidelines 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.
