Adapted selective waste collection concepts for developing and emerging countries

Source segregation forms the essential precondition for recycling. Separate collection
systems applied in industrialised countries are less suited for developing countries

They aim at reducing personnel costs through higher capital expenditures and assigning certain tasks within the collection process to the waste producers. In contrast to that, personnel costs in developing countries are low, employment generation is highly desirable and forms an essential objective of development cooperation. A labour-intensive concept for the integrated separate collection of recyclables waste was developed at the University of Rostock [PFAFF-SIMONEIT 2013]. It combines simple primary collection techniques with modern, efficient secondary collection logistics. An identifying feature ofthe concept is the combination of waste collection services with personal advice on waste management to households and other served waste producers. Theoretical assessments of performance and cost indicate that such a collection system may probably be considerably cheaper than capital-intensive collection systems. This will be empirically verified in different pilot projects presently under preparation within the Framework of German Development Cooperation.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
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.
