Abstract
The aim of separate collection of municipal waste, including biodegradable waste, is to reduce the amount of waste going to landfills, to reuse products, to obtain secondary raw materials and to reduce the negative impact on the environment. Depending on the available infrastructure, bio-waste can be directed to composting plants or biogas plants, hence the similarities and differences in waste collection systems between municipalities in Poland and in other countries. The quality of the environment we live in depends on the efficiency of the waste management system. Over recent years, recycling and recovery of waste has been increasing in Poland and other European countries as a result of EU and national regulations. The same regulations bring further challenges to municipalities in terms of increasing levels of recycling and reducing landfilling. The catalogue presents examples of good practice in bio-waste collection from Poland, Norway and other European countries where efficient biodegradable waste management systems have been in place for many years. We would like these examples to be a guideline for taking action to improve bio-waste collection systems and their further processing.
