Regenerative Energie
Our economy increasingly depends on metals and minerals, which are present on earth in only low concentration. Waste electronic equipment contains strategically relevant metals and minerals and is therefore an important source for recovery of secondary raw material.
Flat display panels (FDP) have largely replaced Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT). The vast majority of flat display panels (more than 75 %) are based on LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology. The future relevance of FDP based on so-called OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)-technology cannot be predicted precisely but it is likely that it will displace other display-technologies.
The change of technology from CRT to FDP entails challenges in recycling questions:
ï‚· The amount of waste rises in foreseeable future.
ï‚· Flat display panels with LCD technology contain large amounts of hazardous mercury, which carries a risk for employees in treatment plants.
ï‚· By law components, which contain hazardous substances, have to be removed before recy-cling.
ï‚· Plastic and metal components are valuable, e.g. LEDs contain critical metals like gallium.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
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.

Die Landestalsperrenverwaltung des Freistaates Sachsen (LTV) betreibt aktuell insgesamt 87 Stauanlagen, darunter 25 Trinkwassertalsperren. Der Stauanlagenbestand ist historisch gewachsen und wurde für unterschiedliche Zwecke errichtet.
