What is bio-waste?

A bio-waste is a residue composed of organic matter (plant, animal) degraded by micro-organisms. Examples:

• Vegetables: fruits and vegetables, bread, green waste...
• Cooking products: tea, tea bags, coffee grounds and its filter
• Animal products and by-products: meat, fish, egg, dairy products...
• Biodegradable products from plants: cotton or linen clothing, paper, cardboard...

Depending on its final recovery (composting or methanisation), it is important to know which bio-waste you can or cannot use. See "how to compost"
