Regenerative Energie
During the last 50 years, plastic materials have become one of the most important types of materials used in various branches. Due to their special features, i.e. low weight, availability and costs, they have substituted or replaced many traditional materials and are at present widely applied in short- and long-life products. They are dominating the packaging market, and are more and more commonly used in automotive and building sectors. Therefore, assessment of plastic flows and their appropriate management, in accordance with the objectives of sustainable development, has recently become an important issue in modern societies, worth more comprehensive investigations.
Total plastic flows in Austria have increased between 1994 and 2004 by 40 % to 3.7 Mio tons. In 2004 the consumption of plastics amounted to ca. 161 kg/capita. The situation in waste treatment has changed significantly. The quantity of plastic waste directed for recycling increased from approx. 50.000 tons in to 130.000 tons and for thermal treatment from 71.000 tons to 564.000 tons. Main driver was not the packaging ordinance but the landfill ordinance. The situation in Poland in 2004 is similar to the situation in Austria 1994. 40 % of plastic waste is collected separately. High rates of mechanical and feedstock recycling and energy recovery are implemented in Austria. Bioplastics do not have a big potential to save greenhousegas emissions. A Sustainability Assessment for different waste management options is necessary.

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.
