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.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
