Materials from plant components can replace materials from non-renewable resources such as crude oil. They can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Such products of the bio-economy have already become an integral part of our society: from bio-based glasses or flower pots to biodegradable drinking cups or pens, to compostable T-shirts or plastic bags. The many different markings and labels for these products sometimes cause confusion among consumers – often it is not clear what the optimal recycling route at the end of the product’s life is.

So do bio-based products and the compostable T-shirt belong in the organic waste bin? What happens if the biodegradable drinking cup is released into the environment?

The participation is free of charge. This webinar is conducted in German and in cooperation with the Austrian Compost & Biogas Association.
