Detailed description
If you collect biodegradable waste (organic kitchen waste and garden waste) separately from the residual waste, this has several advantages for the environment: you reduce the amount of residual waste and make it easier to dispose of the residual waste. Separate collection simplifies the high-quality recycling of biowaste through fermentation. In addition, the humus components and nutrients contained in the biowaste can be returned to the natural cycle as fermentation substrate or compost.
