with the PPWR (EU Regulation 2025\/40) that maximizes the valorisation of biowaste through compostable packaging designed for collective catering.<br \/>\nIn this context, compostable is not a generic alternative but a high-efficiency systemic solution where recycling and reuse are suboptimal.<\/p>\n<p>Key element: European biowaste represents a largely untapped resource with strategic potential for renewable energy (biomethane) and soil fertility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Strategic positioning within PPWR<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The PPWR
