Bio-waste of plant origin
Prague plans to expand the collection of plant-based bio-waste. Citizens who recycle bio-waste will save money. Bio-waste of plant origin currently accounts for up to 40% of mixed municipal waste in the Czech metropolis.
The City of Prague wants to process the bio-waste in a compost plant and a biogas plant, in order to regenerate other products from it, such as fertiliser and biogas.
Prague City Hall has agreed on a decree regulating the cost of collection of municipal waste, and extending the service of collecting plant-based bio-waste.
In the coming weeks, the city of Prague is preparing an information campaign on recycling options for bio-waste of plant origin, which will allow people to not spend their money unnecessarily on general waste collection.
