Charting the Spatiality of the Brussels Biowaste Metabolism

This article describes how a fine-grained spatial analysis of biowaste generation in Brussels can help to rethink its urban metabolism. It makes it possible to better understand the differentiation among urban areas and to identify some geographies of biowaste generation. Moreover, it enables the expansion of the current biowaste treatment with practices and devices that take place in both the domestic and public environment. Ultimately, it triggers imagining the renegotiation of the collection service between these areas and stewardship of improved biowaste recirculation.
