Regenerative Energie
Although recycling and recovery of ELV components are increasing the growing number of vehicles will give a further rise of ASR generated for years to come. Since the mid-1990’s there is, however, increased concern on how to handle this waste material and in European Countries that follow EU legislation and directives, important changes are being enforced by three directives: Directive 2000/53/EC on End-of-Life Vehicles, Directive 2000/76/EC on the Incineration of Waste and Directive 1999/31/EC on the Landfill of Waste. Some implications of these are limitations on what types of waste may be landfilled or incinerated (for example, car tyres may not be landfilled any longer within EU Member States), and especially on how ASR may be treated.
Currently, about 75% of end-of-life vehicles’ (ELV) total weight is recycled in EU Countries. The remaining 25% which is called Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) or car fluff is disposed of in landfills. The European ELV Directive (2000/53/EC) states that, from January 2006, 80% of a vehicle must be retrieved for recycling, while another 5% must be collected and used in energy-recovery processes. By 2015, these targets rise to 85% for recycling plus an additional 10% for energy recovery. Several ASR processing methods based on mechanical or thermal procedures have been developed since the early 1990s, aiming at reducing the final disposal of ASR on landfills and increasing the degrees of recovery and recycling. Apart from co-firing ASR with MSW at 5-10 % of the fed material, the most promising options seem to be hybrid processes combining different technologies. For the longer term, nevertheless, Member States should aim at a sustainable system of automobile production, use and disposal and this will require efforts especially from the car manufacturers.

Fremdstoffgehalte in den Sieblinien von Biogut nach Voraufbereitung

Fremd- und Kunststoffeinträge im getrennt erfassten Biogut rücken zunehmend in den Fokus des Gesetzgebers. Mit der Novellierung der BioAbfV treten zum 01.05.2025 erstmals Grenzwerte in Kraft, die sich auf das frische Biogut vor der biologischen Behandlung beziehen.

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.
