In the mid-nineties one of the first waste management conferences in Poland took place in Miedzyzdroje. Municipal representatives and technology providers came together to discuss the introduction of an orderly and environmentally sound waste management structure. At that time there was a spirit of optimism in that there was consensus that waste incinerators should be a substantial part of waste management with a significant market potential. In other words waste was available for projects which would be completed in the not too distant future.
Actually it will have taken two decades from thedevelopment of these initial ideas to the start-up of the first projects. Inour neighbour country Poland a market with major potential has been created byforward-looking waste management measures and investments. The last two yearshave seen numerous contracts for new plants being awarded which have beendesigned to ensure the efficient and environmentally-friendly disposal ofwaste. However, it was not until Poland joined the European Union on first May 2004that this development was significantly accelerated and the path toeco-friendly waste management was mapped out.
Using the example of awaste-to-energy plant in Krakow this paper sets out the longterm developmentfrom the initial project idea through to the awarding of contracts and theirsubsequent implementation together with the prospects of future opportunities and associated risks.

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.
