It depends on the bioplastic type. Drop-ins (bioPE, bioPET) follow existing PE and PET recycling streams. Dedicated polymers such as PLA or PHA fall under industrial composting under EN 13432, but access to these facilities remains uneven: biowaste collection does not guarantee treatment through industrial composting, and almost all PLA currently ends up incinerated in France. Chemical or enzymatic recycling remains emerging, and home composting is not covered by EN 13432.
