Proposal for quality standards for bio-waste entering biological recycling facilities

The quality of bio-waste impacts the production of compost and digestate. LIFE BIOBEST‘s Deliverable 5.3 aims to establish unified quality standards for bio-waste entering the recycling process in the European Union Member States in alignment with the Waste Framework Directive.

The document draws conclusions from the various approaches currently adopted by EU MS, including methodologies for the analysis of bio-waste composition as well as the definition of control or limit values for impurities. Furthermore, consultation with experts in bio-waste management helped shape the recommendations.
