In response to the public consultation on products, components and waste streams considered as having potential to recover critical raw materials, ECN issued a position paper to welcome that ‘digestate or compost from separately collected biowaste’ are considered by the Commission as having a relevant critical raw materials recovery potential within the meaning of the Critical Raw Materials Act (Regulation 2024/1252). It is a major step forward for the scaling-up of the biowaste recycling sector.
