Study Overview
Biodegradable waste includes any organic material in the waste that can be broken down into carbon dioxide, water, methane or simple organic molecules by micro-organisms and other living things through composting, aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion or similar processes. In Europe, organic waste accounts for more than 34% of solid waste generated in cities, or 86 million tons in 2017 In Italy, in 2020, there were 7.1 million tons of organic waste. This represents an increase of 7.5% over the previous year. There is no doubt that the confinement and the months of restrictions had an influence on these figures. People were forced to stay at home and therefore consumed more food. In Italy, in 2020, the annual collection of organic waste per capita will amount to 117 kg, while the region with the highest amount of collection is confirmed to be Lombardy, with 1.3 million tons, the recycling of organic waste is entrusted to 339 biological treatment plants. Most of them are located in the north, only 46 in central Italy and 62 in the south, including the islands.
