Regenerative Energie
After an introduction about biowaste legislation in Europe, this paper explains the benefits of using compostable bags,in this case Mater-Bi® bags, for residential food waste collection schemes. Mater-Bi® identifies a family of compostableresins produced by Novamont that contain native starch and other raw materials of agricultural origin.
All Mater-Bi®grades are certified according to all main international compostability standards and some Mater-Bi® grades arespecifically designed for producing food waste collection bags.Two prominent features of this type of bags made for food waste collection are then described: compostability invarious environments and water vapour permeability (breathability). In the last part, the advantages of breathability arepresented through the results of a comparative study between vented vs. non vented kitchen containers tested incombination with Mater-Bi® breathable bags containing food waste. Weight loss, moisture and odour reduction havebeen investigated on a quali- quantitative basis. The conclusions show that vented collection systems can ensure highercomfort in the kitchen increasing the acceptance of food waste collections. Furthermore, vented kitchen containers incombination with Mater-Bi® breathable bags make it possible to collect less water and therefore a more energy richfeedstock for subsequent processing with a concurrent optimisation in the collection phase and reduction of Overall Impacts.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

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.
