Regenerative Energie
Environmental legislation is mostly established as a Framework at European Level. It thus defines the conditions for the activities of Member States as well as local waste Management utilities. VKU welcomes the fact that the authors of the study "Implementing EU Waste Legislation for Green Growth"¹ acknowledge the important role of local and regional public entities for the implementation of the EU waste legislation.
The waste management system technically consists of four hierarchical complexes: precautionary measures/waste prevention, collection/transport, preparation/treatment of waste, which may consist of sorting, recycling, energy recovery etc., possibly in several steps, and final disposal/reuse/utilisation of secondary materials and energy. Obviously, not every end-of-life product necessarily runs through all possible levels of the waste management system.
Local utilities and municipalities are active on all these levels, they undertake actions to improve waste prevention and reduce waste amounts, collect and transport a multitude of different types of waste, recycle biowaste, treat, sort, incinerate, landfill waste, use and buy recovered materials and energy and secondary products etc. The VKU member companies operate, among other installations, landfills, thermal and mechanical-biological waste treatment, composting and fermentation plants as well as recycling centres and carry out waste collection, street cleaning and winter services.

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.
