Apparently in France it is. Is there any other country that has this type of law implemented? Mandatory donations or something of the sort?

That' an EU directive.

To take effect, national measures must achieve the objectives set by the directive. National authorities must communicate the measures they adopt to the European Commission.

Now find the 27 national laws that make it mandatory for people to sort food waste separately.

The directive by the way says that member states have to encourage not force food separation.

Directives are the closest thing the EU has to laws. But that's true, the description and implementation of Article 22 has been fairly loose.

In Sweden the article has been interpreted as mandatory food waste bins, and bans on in-sink food disposals, but it's possible that other countries have different interpretations.
