Introduction
Every year each European citizen produces on average 200 kg of municipal biowaste. This means that
between 118 and 138 million tons of biowaste arise annually in the EU. The municipal biowaste
management systems that currently exist in Europe, such as landfilling, do not give a second life to
materials or resources contained in the biowaste. Other alternatives such as incineration and composting
do not allow to take full advantage of the biowaste potential.
With the increase in biowaste production, the EU's priorities are to reduce food waste, increase separate
collection and reuse or recycling. One of the main challenges for biowaste management is to integrate a
valorization system in a city context, and to recover strategic products with a market value that offsets
the global cost of biowaste valorization.
Thus, the recovery and valorization of biowaste is one of the main lines of several EU-funded projects,
like VALUEWASTE , which proposes an integrated system for urban biowaste valorization into key
strategic products for the EU.
In order to implement successful valorization schemes to produce high value products with attractive
and sustainable business cases, it is imperative to feed the processes with high quality biowaste. High
quality biowaste relies on efficient selective collection systems and pre-treatments. Unfortunately, such
systems to ensure high quality biowaste are scarce in Europe, making current valorization systems
uneconomical and therefore underutilizing the potential of urban biowaste.
Standardization of the influencing key factors for the improvement of the selective collection and
management of urban biowaste will help city managers and waste management service providers to
increase the quality of the selectively collected biowaste, enabling the development of robust biowaste
valorization processes. The influencing key factors will focus on actions to promote biowaste collection
and improve the perception of citizens on urban biowaste as a local source of valuable materials.
Therefore, standardization will bring citizens' sorting and recycling efforts to increase the biowaste
quality and contribute to pave the way for the transition of cities to a circular economy.
Part of this CWA is based on the biowaste selective collection experience implemented in the
VALUEWASTE project. This research project has received funding from the European Union’s
HORIZON 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement number 818312.

1 Scope
This CWA provides guidance for the implementation of biowaste selective collection schemes.
This CWA also paves the way to increase citizen engagement, as this is crucial for the successful
implementation of urban biowaste selective collection schemes.
It is intended to be used by city managers and municipal waste managers with interest in implementing
the selective collection of urban biowaste to produce high quality biowaste (i.e., minimal presence of non-
required fractions) which can be then used in robust valorization processes with attractive business
cases.
