♻️ Unlocking the full potential of biowaste in the circular bioeconomy

On 7 July 2025, ECN published together with the European Biogas Association and Municipal Waste Europe a joint paper calling for the integration of biowaste into the 2025 revision of the EU Bioeconomy Strategy.

To fully unlock biowaste potential, we recommend:

  • Directing separately collected biowaste to fertilising product and biogas production.
  • Supporting the market for circular organic fertilising products.
  • Facilitating the market for biogas and biomethane from biowaste.
  • Mobilising European funds and investments for biowaste-based biogas and fertiliser production.
