Get a Biotonne: close the compost loop

The simplest “zero waste” win in Cologne About 40% of what lands in the grey residual bin is compostable organic waste. In Niehl it is burned: costing money, CO₂, and fertile matter that could return to parks and gardens as torffreier Kölner Kompost. What you can do - Ask your landlord for the free brown Biotonne (tenants can use Zero Waste Köln’s postcard template on their project page). - Line the bin with newspaper, keep it in the shade, and skip “compostable” plastic bags: they need industrial conditions Cologne’s plants do not offer. - Buy Kölner Kompost or Blumenerde from AWB/AVG outlets (the Verein advocates more neighbourhood pick-up points). Why it matters Separate bio collection has been mandatory in Germany since 2015, but Cologne households still need to request the bin. Less bio in residual waste can mean a smaller (cheaper) grey bin. Source & repost Shared here so you can get inspired or find action already happening near you.

Include waste pickers in organic waste management

Santa Catarina leads Latin America The 2025 regional report names Florianópolis / Santa Catarina as Brazil’s, and the region’s, reference for recyclers participating in organic-waste management. Waste-picker leaders host compost tours and trainings that strengthen neighbourhood sorting and keep organics out of landfills. What you can do - Join a Brasil Composta Cultiva compost tour led by catadoras and catadores in the Florianópolis area. - Separate organics at home and coordinate with local picker cooperatives on collection routes. Why it matters When recyclers co-manage organics, methane falls and livelihoods rise, a replicable model the report highlights as a top 2024 success across Latin America.

Community composting pilots: ZERO accompanies municipalities across Portugal

Organic waste stays local: feeds local soil ZERO is accompanying multiple Portuguese municipalities in launching community composting pilots, keeping food and garden waste in the neighbourhood loop rather than sending it to landfill. In Fornos de Algodres, the Muxagata project combines community composting with door-to-door collection: funded by Zero Waste Europe and GAIA. Castelo Branco is running a parallel composting pilot with ZERO's direct support. How community composting works - Residents deposit food scraps and garden trimmings at shared composting points - ZERO helps municipalities design, site, and monitor the composting system - Finished compost is returned to the community: for gardens, schools, or public green spaces What you can do - Ask your local council whether a community composting pilot is planned or running - Volunteer as a composting point steward: ZERO and partner municipalities recruit residents for monitoring roles - Use the ZERO website to find resources and contact information for composting support Why it matters Organic waste is about a third of Portuguese household rubbish. Keeping it out of landfill reduces methane emissions, builds local soil, and cuts disposal costs: three wins that make composting one of the highest-return interventions in any zero waste plan.

Bio-waste source separation: AGEC law in action

France's circular economy law brings composting to every doorstep France's AGEC law (loi anti-gaspillage pour une économie circulaire) mandated source separation of bio-waste for all households from 1 January 2024. Municipalities across the country are now building collection infrastructure, distributing home composting equipment, and running resident education programmes to turn a legal obligation into a daily community habit. What municipalities are doing - Distributing separate bio-waste bins and/or home composting containers - Running neighbourhood workshops on what can be composted and how - Deploying door-to-door collection routes for organic kitchen waste - Partnering with local farms and green spaces to close the loop from food waste to compost How to engage - Check your municipality's website for the bio-waste collection calendar and bin distribution schedule - Attend a local composting workshop: many communes organise them in spring and autumn - Ask your building's property manager about a shared composter if you live in an apartment - Follow Zero Waste France for national advocacy and practical guides Why it matters Only 26% of EU food waste was captured in 2023 (up from 18% in 2020). France's AGEC law creates the legal architecture for a step change: but only works when residents and municipalities implement it together. Every neighbourhood that adopts source separation reduces landfill and methane emissions while creating local compost for urban greening.

#ForkToFarm Poland: improving bio-waste collection in three municipalities

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.

Ukraine bio-waste roadmap: a guide for small communities starting from scratch

A practical roadmap built from real village composting pilots Based on the composting work in Pidkamin, Zabolotsiv, and Horokhiv (Lviv and Volyn oblasts), Zero Waste Alliance Ukraine developed a Bio-waste Management Roadmap for Small Communities: a guide that walks any community of under 20,000 residents through setting up and running a bio-waste composting system. The roadmap incorporates lessons from what worked in the pilot communities and what didn't. What the roadmap covers - Step-by-step infrastructure planning: composter siting, type selection, and capacity calculation - Resident engagement strategies that work in small rural communities - Monitoring and reporting templates for tracking waste diversion - Legal framework analysis under current Ukrainian waste legislation - Permaculture design elements (such as replacing annual plantings with perennials) that reduce garden waste generation upstream How to engage - Ukrainian community leaders and local officials: request the roadmap from Zero Waste Alliance Ukraine for use in your own municipality - International donors: the roadmap is the key output of the LIFE-funded ForkToFarm project in Ukraine: support its translation and distribution to more communities - Ukrainian NGOs and educators: incorporate the roadmap into municipal capacity-building workshops Why it matters Small rural communities rarely have waste consultants on call. A roadmap built from real village composting pilots gives any town under 20,000 residents a step-by-step path, infrastructure, engagement, and monitoring included.
