5 years after the first Biowaste Conference 2001, initiated by Lower Austria, we are facing a critical phase all over Europe in searching for solutions for a sustainable biowaste strategy. It has been proven that separate collection and composting of biowaste (= 25 to 45 % of the municipal solid waste MSW or up to 100 – 120 million tons in the EU25) shows a cost effective and environmentally sound option for the manifold conditions in Europe.

In a period where the new Member States, some of the old EU Members and the acceding candidate countries are faced with far-reaching decisions and investments in waste management, it is a challenge and responsibility for the organisers to provide support for those countries. Support in form of optimised concepts will allow them to create the necessary framework for the introduction of a sustainable biowaste management.

20 years ago first pilot schemes of separate collection and composting of organic household waste started in Austria. These 20 years now provide extensive experience in developing best practice in collection systems and infrastructure, economic tools, awareness raising and public relations, decentralised biowaste management including farmers, in composting and composting technology, in establishing a consistent legal framework and, last but not least, compost marketing and use.

The event is designed to demonstrate and teach with the help of international experts from best practice examples and success stories under the motto "From the practice for the practice", to exchange experiences, to start networking and offers a unique possibility to share the lessons that have been learned in 20 years decentralised biowaste management and composting. So the event is especially dedicated to decision makers, investors, politicians and experts in the enlarged EU and the acceding candidate countries.

After introductory lectures, Austrian and international acknowledged experts and practitioners will lead you through the 4 parallel seminars. Participants can take part actively in the seminars to develop concrete solutions.

Topics

  • Biowaste recycling and integrated part of municipal waste management
  • Optimisation of separate collection schemes, regional concepts
  • Cooperation models in decentralised composting including agriculture
  • Existing and necessary legal framework and quality assurance systems
  • Public relations & awareness raising campaigns
  • Planning and licensing of composting plants – environmental requirements
  • State of the art and quality management of open windrow composting
  • Exchange and networking forum in inter-regional projects and pilot schemes
  • Grants, subsidies, funding options in the EU
