This is recognized by the European Compensation Network (ECN) in a piece of information published in which it estimates the direct jobs that could be generated from processing unused biological waste.
The ECN affirms that taking into account the potential biomass of unused municipal waste (64 Mt), more than 50.000 direct jobs in rural areas would be created in the biowaste sector, and up to 16,000 in urban areas.
According to this report, the biological waste used already generates around 90.000 direct jobs, mainly in rural areas reaching 70.000 direct jobs.
The organization that makes these data visible, the ECN, has as its main objective to promote sustainable systems of organic waste management, supporting the circular economy and the creation of local jobs, while wishing to contribute to safeguarding the soil for future generations.
