Biowaste bin

Who is affected by the sorting of bio-waste?

Since January 1, 2024 , all bio-waste and used oils generated by individuals, professionals and communities must be collected separately

What is Biowaste?
Biowaste, also called organic waste, includes:
Waste from the maintenance of green spaces
Kitchen and table waste (DCT)
Waste from the food industry

Among the different categories of waste to be sorted, bio-waste occupies an important place, particularly in catering. It is therefore essential to set up a selective sorting system for bio-waste to separate it from reusable tableware and disposable napkins . This practice not only reduces the quantity of waste destined for landfill , but also recovers this organic waste by transforming it into compost or energy . It is therefore important to sort and implement selective sorting of bio-waste in compliance with the AGEC law .

Why sort biowaste?

Selective sorting of bio-waste has many advantages for the environment and society. Here are some reasons why it is important to sort biowaste:
Reduction of waste destined for landfill
Selective sorting of bio-waste helps reduce the quantity of waste destined for landfill. By selectively sorting organic waste from other waste, we prevent it from ending up in landfills where it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that is particularly harmful to the climate. By recovering this food waste, we also limit the use of natural resources to produce compost or energy. We also avoid the use of plastic trash bags which do not degrade easily.
Valorization of biowaste
Biowaste can be recycled in different ways. They can be transformed into compost, which is a natural fertilizer used in agriculture. Compost helps nourish the soil and promote plant growth in a natural way. Biowaste can also be used to produce energy, notably by methanization. Anaerobic digestion involves transforming biowaste into biogas, which can then be used to produce electricity and heat.
Reduction of carbon footprint
By sorting bio-waste with the Cubatri Rossignol trash can range, we help reduce the carbon footprint linked to their management. Indeed, the transport and burial of waste generates greenhouse gas emissions. By recovering bio-waste locally, we limit travel and therefore CO2 emissions. In addition, compost production helps store carbon in the soil, which helps mitigate climate change.
Environmental awareness
Selective sorting of bio-waste is also an opportunity to raise citizens' awareness of the importance of the environment and the preservation of natural resources. By understanding the impact of their sorting on the environment, individuals are more likely to change their consumption and waste production habits.

How to choose your bio-waste sorting bin?

Choosing the bio-waste bin is an important step in implementing selective sorting of bio-waste. Here are some criteria to take into account when choosing the bio-waste bin that best suits your needs:
The capacity of the bio-waste bin depends on the quantity of bio-waste you produce. It is essential to choose a bin large enough to contain all the bio-waste produced between each collection. An appropriate capacity avoids the risk of overflow and facilitates the daily management of bio-waste.
It is important to choose a waterproof bio-waste bin to avoid leaks and unpleasant odors. A waterproof trash can helps keep your kitchen or work space clean.
The bio-waste bin must be easy to clean to ensure good hygiene. Choose models with smooth surfaces and materials that resist stains and odors. Rossignol Cubatri bio-waste bins are equipped with removable bins for easy cleaning.
The design of the bio-waste bin can also be a selection criterion. Opt for an aesthetic model that fits harmoniously into your environment. Rossignol, manufacturer in France, offers bio-waste bins with a modern and elegant design.
Finally, choose a quality bio-waste bin, made with durable and resistant materials. A quality trash can will support you in the long term and contribute to the sustainability of your selective sorting system for bio-waste.
