(Table 5.): Quantity of treated household waste 2004-2008 (KG/Person)
(AÖS, 2009)
In 2008, 597,280 tons of household waste was biologically treated (Figure 40.).
An increase of 6.4 percent compared to 2007. In total that means that 64.5 kg of
food waste <strong>and</strong> green waste per person was biologically treated in 2008. The
biological treatment now st<strong>and</strong>s for 12.6 percent of the total quantity of treated
household waste. 133 of 290 municipalities already have more or less
implemented systems for collection of food waste. 22 of these only collect food
waste from restaurants <strong>and</strong> large-scale kitchens, while the remaining 111
municipalities have systems for households as well.
