Hi there, dear Reader!

April is the "calm before the storm" - we're taking this month's newsletter to both look back on the achievements of the previous month (and believe us, there were many!) and to gear us all up for the busy weeks ahead.

Between our efforts to make good practices on bio-waste more visible and widely implemented across Europe, and our activities on reuse at the local level, this is a newsletter issue you won't want to miss.

Let's dive right in!

Highlight of the month

#LIFEBIOBEST webinar: Regulatory and technical perspectives – driving progress in bio-waste treatment

Don't miss out on the next #LIFEBIOBEST webinar on 27 May 2024, as we will uncover practical insights for advancing bio-waste treatment practices!

We’ll delve into the technical aspects (from low-tech composting towards complex systems) as well as the best regulatory perspectives to enhance bio-waste treatment technologies in various regional and municipal settings. More specifically, we will look in detail at:

The various possible technological approaches to optimised treatment of bio-waste;
Quality assurance schemes for compost and digestate production;
Leveraging regulatory tools for economic viability and product quality of biowaste treatment.

We have compiled a short list of things you might find useful:

On 13-14 March, #LIFEBIOBEST had its workshop on bio-waste in Lyon together with Zero Waste France. Check the workshop's wrap-up post for photos and key highlights.

On 18-20 March, Berlin hosted more than 50 participants from over 20 European countries for a three-day training organised by ZWE and the Mission Zero Academy (MiZA) on plastic prevention and reuse for cities, also taking stock of the Elevating Reuse in Cities (ERIC) project's progress. Read the blog post for all the takeaways.

It's been 100 days since the new regulation came into force, and yet there has not been much progress on making biowaste separate collection mandatory across the EU. We aim to change that... Keep an eye out next week for the launch of our brand new #ForkToFarm campaign 👀
