Reuse of products and components

Waste minimisation implies the application of procedures such as waste prevention or the reuse of waste products. From a practical point of view it is rather difficult to implement large scale reuse of products which have to be managed in order to create an economically and ecologicallyfeasible system. Thus, the real challenge is to receive a sufficient quantity of products in good condition from the user, to minimise financial issues and efforts in order to maximise reusable output. (Session A2: Waste management strategies)

The possibility of reusing household products is linked to the implemented waste collection system. The nearer the household to reuse facilities the better the remaining quality and the higher the share of reusable products from this waste stream. The present paper illustrates different options for receiving products from households for the purpose of reuse as second hand items. By means of selected examples, the different economic, environmental and social aspects of these options are discussed in relation to demand on the respective market (national, international), risks and obstacles. Most of the examples selected originate from Austria, showing the current state of reuse activities at the beginning of the 21st century.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
