All food waste generated in the kitchen belongs in biowaste. <\/p>\n<p>Recycling biowaste is important for the environment, as it allows energy and nutrients to be reused. Sorting is also economically beneficial: by recycling, you save on household costs, as the price of mixed waste is higher than biowaste. Our buildings have dedicated waste bins or suction pipes for biowaste.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>You can place the following in biowaste:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>food scraps and spoiled foodstuffs<\/li>\n<li>bones, eggshells<\/li>\n<li>fruit and vegetable peels and other parts<\/li>\n<li>coffee grounds, tea bags, and filter papers<\/li>\n<li>plant parts<\/li>\n<li>paper towels, tissues, napkins \u2013 they absorb moisture<\/li>\n<li>solidified fat<\/li>\n<li>small wooden sticks (ice cream sticks and toothpicks)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The biowaste bin does not accept:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>liquids<\/li>\n<li>biodegradable diapers and sanitary pads<\/li>\n<li>animal waste<\/li>\n<li>sweeping dust and vacuum cleaner bags<\/li>\n<li>soil and sand<\/li>\n<li>plastic bags and packaging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The drain is not the right place for biowaste<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biowaste should not be poured down apartment drains, as food scraps, especially the fat they contain, can cause blockages in the plumbing. Remember to recycle! <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Compost and Biogas from Biowaste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Biowaste is processed by composting or anaerobic digestion to prevent methane from entering the atmosphere. Recycled biowaste is utilized in energy production, and it is also used to produce compost. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to keep odors at bay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Biowaste can emit odors into the apartment, especially in summer \u2013 a few tricks can help with this.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Empty your biowaste bin frequently. Meat and fish products, in particular, should be taken to the waste room without delay. <\/li>\n<li>Keep your biowaste bin clean by washing it.<\/li>\n<li>Cool warm biowaste and allow it to dry before placing it in the bag.<\/li>\n<li>Place used paper towels or an egg carton at the bottom of the biowaste bag \u2013 they will absorb liquids.<\/li>\n<li>Use a paper bag or a biodegradable biowaste bag for packaging biowaste. This way, both your home waste bin and the waste room bins will stay clean and avoid causing odor nuisances. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biowaste inevitably accumulates at home, even if all food is consumed carefully.
