Composting of biodegradable pre-collection bags and their citizens' acceptance
Abstract
Currently, particularly with respect to the growing discussion on microplastics in the environment, the interest in biobased and biodegradable plastic is increasing in our society. This affects the waste management sector, too, not only regarding the issues of plastic collection and recycling or compost quality (microplstic in compost), but also with respect to biodegradable pre-collection bags for biogenic waste at the household level to increase the convenience for the citicens, and thus, the amount of separately collected biogenic waste. Within this project the acceptance of such biobased/biodegradable bags shall be inquired at the houshold level in selected regions of Lower Austria with questionairs together with students from agricultural vocational schools. Moreover, home-composting field trial with the currently used biobased/biodegradable pre-collection bags (promoted by the regional waste management associations) shall be deduced by the agricultural schools. The test framework, monitoring of the composting trials, design of questionairs and the final interpretation of the resualts will be done under the supervision of ABF-BOKU.
