conclusion
The pilot project showed clearly that it is possible to collect
BDP products with the organic waste in a common collection system,
i.e. the “biowaste bin”. Consumers can distinguish
between conventional plastic packing and their substitutes made
from biopolymers. Essential
is one remarkable and identical label for this new class of products.
The treatment in technical composting facilities is possible
though it may require slight adaptations in case of a manual
source separation of impurities. Compost made from organic residues
mixed with BDP have no negative effects on plants and soil.
