Bio-waste in Europe — turning challenges into opportunities
An average of 5 tonnes of waste from all sources was generated per person in the EU in 2016
We need to fundamentally transform the way we produce, consume and live in order to preserve nature’s ability to provide for us. Let’s produce more with fewer inputs and see waste as a resource.
Resource extraction and production of material resources have significant impacts on the environment and human health, as well as on the economy. While progress is being made in Europe, by implementing an ambitious waste policy and the Circular Economy Framework, significant amounts of valuable resources are still lost through inefficient waste management practices.
