Biowaste, often overlooked as a resource, has great potential for recovery, constituting a valuable resource as a raw material. Generated in households, restaurants and other sectors, biowaste includes food scraps, garden waste and other biodegradable materials. With the global increase in the levels of waste generated by society, the appropriate recovery of biowaste is a key strategy for municipalities to achieve their environmental goals.<\/p>\n\n
Why biowaste is important<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Biowaste makes up a significant proportion of municipal waste. Improper disposal of this waste, particularly in landfills, leads to very negative consequences, such as methane emissions – a greenhouse gas that has been shown to contribute to climate change. However, when managed correctly, biowaste becomes a valuable resource, and can be converted into compost to enrich soils, biogas for renewable energy or bio-based products, promoting a circular economy where waste is minimised and resources are continually reused. <\/p>\n\n In Europe, biowaste recycling has taken centre stage due to stringent regulatory frameworks, such as the revised Landfill Directive EU 2018\/850, which stipulates that no more than 10% of municipal waste may be landfilled by 2030. Municipalities are now tasked with upgrading their waste management systems to ensure that biowaste is separated, collected and treated efficiently. This is where innovation plays a critical role.<\/p>\n\n How Lasso supports municipalities in their biowaste management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n At Lasso, we are proud to have been contributing to the sustainability of municipalities and communities for over 30 years, with innovative solutions adapted to modern waste management challenges. Our Lasso\u2019s underground and semi-underground containers \u2013 such as Semi PE, Semi BT, Green Bee, Red Bee and the latest hydraulic systems \u2013 provide an efficient and sustainable system for the collection of biowaste and other recyclable waste, providing municipalities with the means to reach their recycling targets more quickly.<\/p>\n\n Advantages of Lasso underground and semi-underground containers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 1. More efficient: with a capacity of 5m\u00b3, 3m\u00b3 or 1.5m\u00b3, they are designed to collect large volumes of waste, helping to reduce the frequency of collection trips, which reduces operating costs and carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n 2. More hygiene: by storing waste underground, Lasso underground containers reduce odours and pests, creating cleaner and healthier urban spaces.<\/p>\n\n 3. More available public space: compact and discreet, Lasso containers occupy a limited space in the urban landscape, with a pleasant visual aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n 4. Smart management: Lasso containers can be equipped with smart technology, for monitoring fill levels and access control, which provides real-time data to optimise collection trip schedules and ensure waste is managed more effectively.<\/p>\n\n Given their ease of access and functionality, Lasso containers not only simplify the waste disposal process for citizens, they also encourage communities to adopt more sustainable habits.<\/p>\n\n Lasso is a partner to municipalities, continually developing waste collection solutions adapted to the specific needs of each community. By prioritizing the separation of bio-waste, cities and towns can improve their recycling rates, reduce landfill waste and comply with environmental directives. Lasso\u2019s products are at their side, bringing with them all the know-how and experience of a company with over 30 years of experience.<\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Biowaste, often overlooked as a resource, has great potential for recovery, constituting a valuable resource as a raw material.
