| Popis | This article describes the Czech Republic’s system of separate collection of biodegradable municipal waste. Given the limited scope of the article, we focus on bio-waste, according to Article 3(4) of Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives as they constitute the vast majority of biodegradable municipal waste, while the remaining portion of biodegradable municipal waste (particularly textiles made from natural fibres) is subject to an entirely different method of processing. In the first section, we analyse the legal framework for separate collection of biowaste in the Czech Republic and the establishment of the system. The next sections describe the relevant strategies and plans. We then focus on the treatment of separately collected bio-waste in the Czech Republic. We also examine the various measures aimed at motivating citizens (financial instruments, awareness-raising, information campaigns). Subsequently, we focus on the problematic aspects of the legal regulation. Analysing the literature dealing with this issue in the Czech Republic, we present the health risks and other problems that are frequently encountered in practice and the measures to mitigate or avoid them. |
