The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an EU agency providing independent environmental data, assessments and indicators to support evidence-based policymaking across Europe. It monitors environmental performance and publishes reports on climate change, resource efficiency and waste management trends.
In the field of bio-waste, the EEA analyses municipal waste generation, separate collection performance, recycling rates and landfill diversion across member states. It assesses the environmental impacts of composting, anaerobic digestion and circular bioeconomy strategies, contributing to the evaluation of EU waste legislation and targets. Through data harmonisation, indicator development and thematic assessments, the EEA supports policymakers in designing effective organic waste management systems and advancing sustainable resource use across Europe.
