In September 2011, more than 21,000 households in the districts of Prenzlauer Berg and Hellersdorf each received a test package with 10 organic waste bags. Approximately 80% of the residents surveyed were satisfied with the bags for collecting organic waste.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>The number of conventional, non-biodegradable bags that ended up in the organic waste bins fell sharply during the trial. In Prenzlauer Berg, incorrect disposal fell by 37% and in Hellersdorf by 67%. The amount of organic waste collected increased by about 10% in the fourth quarter of 2011.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8230; Full Text: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.en.european-bioplastics.org\/blog\/2012\/03\/12\/berlin-successful-pilot-project-with-compostable-bags-for-biodegradable-waste\/\" >http:\/\/en.european-bioplastics.org\/blog\/2012\/03\/12\/berlin-successful-pilot-project-with-compostable-bags-for-biodegradable-waste\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tags: pilot project, Ecovio \u00ae FS, organic waste bag<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>The municipal waste management company Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR) and BASF have successfully completed a joint pilot project involving the use of organic waste bags made<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","nova_meta_subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572],"tags":[],"supplier":[75,3272],"class_list":["post-15594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","supplier-basf-se","supplier-berliner-stadtreinigung-bsr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15594\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15594"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=15594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
