Bio-waste generation in the EU: Current capture levels and future potential 2nd Edition - 2O24 1 Executive Summary This report estimates the current and future availability of bio-waste in the EU27, besides UK and Norway, whose environmental and waste policies aim at aligning with EU ones. [...] This report focuses on food waste in particular (as the obligation stipulated at article 22 of the Waste Framework Directive drives its separation as one of most intriguing updates in the waste management strategies and practices) although calculations also cover bio-waste as a whole. [...] In the second chapter, the methodology of the report is outlined. [...] The report builds on public information and national data from the 27 Member States + UK and Norway1 for bio-waste generation, adopting a few assumptions on how to calculate the current capture of bio-waste in the EU27+ and the theoretical potential. [...] About BIC and ZWE The Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) • BIC is Europe’s leading industry association, putting circularity, innovation and sustainability at the heart of the European bioeconomy and the private partner in the €2 billion public-private partnership with the European Commission - the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU).
