New EU requirements for sorting bio-waste in 2024

From 1 January 2024, requirements for sorting and separate collection of bio-waste from households and businesses apply. The requirements are linked to the introduction of the waste directive (2008/98/EC) Article 22 on bio-waste and means that EU member states must ensure that bio-waste is either separated and material recycled at source, or collected separately and not mixed with other types of waste.
