Regenerative Energie
Plastic packaging in the waste of private households used to be incinerated in the Netherlands until the end of 2008. In January 2009, a source separation system for plastic packaging waste (PPW) was established to reduce the amount of residual waste and secure access to secondary resources. Between 2009 and beginning of 2011 three mechanical-biological treatment plants started to recover PPW from municipal solid refuse waste of some municipalities.
The recovered plastic packaging is fed into different material recycling processes depending on the polymer type. Therefore, two different waste management systems are available for PPW in the Netherlands: the source separation system (NL: bronscheiding) and the recovery system (NL: nascheiding). It is necessary to describe each system’s cost efficiency and waste reduction potential to reach the rising recycling targets; in 2012, 42 % of the PPW are to be recycled. Due to the rapid development of the recycling business there is a lack of data which could be used to achieve the above mentioned goal.
This paper describes parts of the results of a feasibility study initiated by the Dutch Federationof Food Industries (FNLI) as well as the Central Office of the grocers (CBL) and executed by the Department of Processing and Recycling (I.A.R.) of the RWTH Aachen, Food and Biobased Research of the Wageningen UR and others. For the first time, the limits and possibilities of sorting concentrates of rigid plastic pieces which were recovered from Dutch municipal solid refuse waste (MSRW) are discussed. Therefore, an important step in the discussion is made by delivering an objective database.

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.
