Paper 14.1 Sylvain Lhôte 7
Biodegradability?
- An additional feature to consider on a case by case –
where does it makes environmentally, economically and socially sense at local level?
- Waste collection and management legal, technical and
practical issues are hugely under-played - Green dot rebates are at best temporary A solution for mixed organic waste centrally collected and managed – e.g. fast food waste streams. An option for littering-sensitive areas if prevention fails?

Renewability Renewability? ?
- Renewable PO present limited technical challenges but
the feedstock integration raise key issues in terms of –Environmental sustainability vs. biodiversity –Economic sustainability vs. biofuels –Social sustainability vs. food
- Large scale production from renewable feedstock may
follow the development of upstream biofuel production but cannot precede it.
