Biowaste

In the revised Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC), a provision can be found on the need to develop end-of-waste criteria for some waste streams such as aggregates, metal scrap and compost. With regard to compost, Belgium/OVAM has always been in favour of a Biowaste Directive, which amongst others stimulates the separate collection of biowaste. This document gives an overview of our arguments and vision, and also gives an overview of the current situation in Flanders in terms of biowaste management.
