This LIFE BIOBEST study focuses on analysing the factors that influence the collection per capita of kitchen waste and bio-waste based on data from municipalities in Catalonia and Italy between 2010 and 2021. These are the only areas in the EU in which open data is available at the municipal level and differentiated between kitchen waste and garden waste. A regression analysis, a statistical technique used to estimate the impact of various waste management variables, as well as socio-economic and demographic variables (independent or explanatory variables), on the kitchen waste and bio-waste collection per capita (dependent or explanatory variables), has been conducted.
