description | Bio-waste represents the largest and most problematic category of municipal waste. Their particularity of decomposition and generation of leachate, respectively of greenhouse gases, imposed finding solutions to reduce and even stop the landfilling of this waste, encouraging the application of recycling measures. Like other developing countries, Romania has no unitary system for the separate collection of bio-waste. This leads to a very low rate of their recovery, on average 10.35% of the total biodegradable waste collected, the majority being disposed of by landfilling with an average annual rate of approx. 72.17%. The lack of a separate bio-waste collection infrastructure in Maramures County means that more than 50,000 tons of organic waste to end up in landfill dumps every year posing risks for environment factors and human health. |
