Анотация: This report provides an overview of bio-waste prevention, generation, collection and treatment in Europe. It aims to support countries by sharing experience and best practice. Bio-waste can play an important role in the transition to a circular economy, by both preventing its generation and capturing its potential as a source of valuable secondary resources. The focus of this report is on food and garden waste from households and similar public and commercial activities such as food services. (Publications Office of the European Union)
