MECHANICAL BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT AND SELECTIVE COLLECTION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE: WHICH INTERACTIONS?

The viability of Mechanical Biological Treatments (MBT) represents a widely discussed topic regarding municipal solid waste (MSW) management in the world. The qualitative characteristics of the municipal solid waste (MSW) represent one of the most important variables for the choice of the most effective technology of waste treatment and disposal. The necessity of a correct evaluation of the quality of the waste is owed to the remarkable multiplication of the typologies of waste. The production of waste derived from human activity has increased because of the increase of the population, but especially because of the economic development that has transformed the modality of consumption of the population. Also the systems of waste collection are changing, giving a complex overall scenario.

Bio-mechanical treatments are extensively used for municipal solid waste management. One of the problems that can be found in this sector can be related to the change of the MSW characteristics during the lifetime of the plant. This problem is only partially related to the dynamics of composition of the generated MSW, as the main source of fluctuation of the input of the plant is the effect of the implementation of the strategies of selective collection. The present paper wants to be a contribution of the understanding of this potential problem presenting a preliminary analysis of a case-study based on the present and expected situation in a Romanian municipality. The choice of the case-study has been related to the fact that Romania has just entered into the European Union and than should modify its MSW management strategy changing from a near zero selective collection scenario to a new scenario that must comply with the principles of recycling proposed by the European Union directives.

Fremdstoffgehalte in den Sieblinien von Biogut nach Voraufbereitung
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (11/2024)
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.

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.
