A campaign turning composting from a good idea into a daily habit
The Polish Zero Waste Association participates in the #ForkToFarm campaign by Zero Waste Europe, working with three Polish municipalities to improve bio-waste collection rates. The campaign combines practical infrastructure (bins, collection services) with resident education to move organic kitchen waste out of the mixed bin and into the composting stream.
What the campaign involves
- Working with the three participating municipalities to audit current bio-waste practices
- Distributing composting bins and providing set-up guidance to households
- Running awareness campaigns explaining what counts as bio-waste and how to compost correctly
- Documenting results so the three municipalities can become reference cases for other Polish towns
How to engage
- Polish residents: check whether your municipality participates in #ForkToFarm and request a bio-waste bin if you don't already have one
- Municipalities: apply to the next #ForkToFarm cohort through Zero Waste Europe or contact Polish Zero Waste Association for national programme support
- Teachers and community leaders: run a bio-waste workshop using the #ForkToFarm materials: Zero Waste Association can provide resources in Polish
Why it matters
Kitchen scraps are the easiest fraction to divert, yet they still fill mixed bins across Poland. Three municipalities testing #ForkToFarm together can show neighbours that composting is a daily habit, not a pilot novelty.
