Other drivers from environmental policies are also mentioned.&nbsp;<\/li><li>In the second chapter, the&nbsp;<strong>methodology of the report<\/strong>&nbsp;is outlined. The report builds on public information and national data from the 27 Member States + UK and Norway for bio-waste generation, making a number of assumptions on how to calculate the current capture of bio-waste in the EU27+ and the theoretical potential.<\/li><li>The third chapter presents the&nbsp;<strong>results<\/strong>. In the EU27+, current capture of food waste is&nbsp;<strong>9,520,091 tonnes per year, just 16% of the theoretical potential, estimated at 59,938,718 tonnes<\/strong>. It must be noted that the latter number is indeed only theoretical. Every type of collection aims at maximising capture but will never reach 100%. With that in mind, the report de\ufb01nes a target capture level, the \u2018operational potential\u2019, of around 85% of the theoretical potential, so as to calculate how much food waste, currently left in mixed waste, may actually be still recovered.<\/li><li>The fourth chapter provides some&nbsp;<strong>best practices in bio-waste management<\/strong>. This includes the case of Milan; an outstanding example of how residential food waste collection has been implemented. Catalonia\u2019s land\ufb01ll tax is also described, where economic instruments aim to promote the collection of bio-waste. Another best practice is in France, where some municipalities were pioneers in promoting the separate collection of bio-waste. BBI JU funded projects are also included as examples of best practices for sustainably valorising bio-waste to provide new bio-based compounds for the chemicals, food-packaging and agricultural sectors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a
