The tools used are successful foreign examples from practice, which clearly outline the positive aspects of the actions for the overall management of biodegradable waste. The article presents an empirical part in the form of systematized data, the values of which direct the reader's attention to the relevance of the topic. A major share of the total amount of biodegradable waste is the share of food waste, and households, in turn, are the largest generator of food waste.
