Regenerative Energie
The new German Waste Management Act (KrWG) defined a new five-step waste hierarchy (paragraph 6) that lays out the fundamental sequence from waste prevention, reuse, recycling, other recovery operations (including energy recovery) to disposal. Moreover, paragraph 14 stipulates that at least 65 % of municipal solid waste and at least 70 % of construction and demolition waste should be recycled by 2020. Biowaste, paper, metal, plastic and glass waste are to be collected separately under the provisions of paragraph 11 I and paragraph 14 I of the Act from 1 January 2015 at the latest. These rules aim to unlock the high resource potential of wastes with intrinsic value even more efficiently.
Changes to the quantities and composition of residual waste are to be expected as part of existing and planned amendments to waste law (introducing an obligation to collect biowaste separately and other recycling materials through the German Waste Management Act and in the future through a German Recyclables Law). Furthermore, a number of proposals have been made about its design during discussions about improving Recycling and about a new law on recyclables. INFA has developed a proposal to improve recycling quantity, including cluster-specific requirements for collection quantities and requirements for recycling rates. If a bin for dry recyclables or a dedicated biowaste binare introduced or the proposed collection volumes for different recyclable materials are met, this will affect the amount and composition of the remaining residual waste. This presentation will demonstrate these impacts and potential strategies especially for mechanical biological treatment plants for residual waste.

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.
