"As of 1 January 2024, organic waste recycling is mandatory in France under new
'compost obligatoire' rules.
With support from the government’s Green Fund, municipalities must provide
residents with ways to sort bio-waste, which includes food scraps, vegetable
peels, expired food and garden waste.
Households and businesses are required to dispose of organic matter either in a
dedicated small bin for home collection or at a municipal collection point.
Previously, only those who generated over five tonnes of organic waste per year
were required to separate it.
The waste will then be turned into biogas or compost to replace chemical
fertilisers. Alternatively, it can be composted at home.
The obligation is currently on local authorities to provide an easy means for
households to compost or separate organic waste.
While facilities are rolled out, there will not be fines imposed for
non-compliance. It is yet to be seen whether stricter rules will be imposed in
future."
