Waste management is currently a very topical issue in connection with the approval of the new legislative package, and the Czech Republic has considerable untapped potential in this area. In connection with the bioeconomy, only the paper sorting system works in our country, wood sorting takes place only on a small scale and a special law on wood recycling is completely missing. However, other aspects need to be taken into account. Materials that are a useful resource due to innovative technologies, such as straw or coffee grounds, are often considered waste. A separate chapter is the use of biowaste and gastrowaste. This section aims to provide input to the discussion on the use of natural products that end up in landfills without further use, without exploiting their potential in the spirit of the circular economy as a basic strategy for sustainable development.
