France mandates separating food waste for the environment

The new 'compost obligatoire' rules came into force on 1 January 2024. Here's what they entail.

It is now mandatory but lots of people still don’t have access to a collect point. Some progress have been made in 2023 but it is far from being enough for the whole population to start separating compostables.

For most people around me there is no difference in the way they handle their waste and many are not even aware of this regulation.

    Japan handles this effectively. Clear garbage bags and, if things aren’t separated properly, the garbage collectors won’t take your bags. And you have to do the walk of shame back to your house with your uncollected trash.
