Actions and expected result
The Programme will develop specific national guidelines to ensure the quality of compost and digestate. At the local level, the Programme will plan and implement, from start to finish, pilot projects on biowaste collection and treatment. Waste Composition Surveys (WCS) will be an integrated part of the pilots. All activities will be done in close cooperation between the Swedish and Ukrainian clusters.
Component 3
Organic Waste
This component focuses on the issue of organic waste, which is a significant source of methane emissions from dumpsites and landfills. The aim is to divert organic waste – including food waste and green waste, away from landfills to mitigate climate impact and reduce reliance on fossil-based fertilisers and fuels. By promoting source separation, the programme seeks to facilitate the conversion of organic waste into compost for soil improvement, biogas as a renewable energy source, and biodigester products for fertiliser use.
