And 40% of this figure is bio-waste, double that of paper and cardboard or packaging. And, as previously mentioned, almost all of this waste ends up in landfills.
Which poses risks of emissions and contamination of soils and waters. However, in order to comply with Directive 2008/98/EC, Law 22/2011 is committed to promoting in the autonomous communities regulations that promote the moible number data separation of bio-waste to use it as compost or in anaerobic digestion. The law also promotes community and home composting. The waste law also sets an objective: to recycle 50% of bio-waste before.

This means that the municipalities will have to create waste separation and recycling plans for organic waste before the aforementioned year. In fact, the aforementioned European directive contemplates that the States of the European Union must reduce to 35% biodegradable waste deposited in landfills before the end of 2016. But governments usually tend to the option that seems easier and cheaper , that is, the discharge.
