Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is a solution adopted by several European countries to reduce the amount of waste landfilled.
After the incineration process, the inorganic fraction mainly recovered as bottom ash (BA) is generally landfilled. Therefore, in order to apply this residue safely as a building material, metals were extracted by mechanical separation from the bottom ash, which was then vitrified by electrical arc furnace. The vitrified BA was later converted into highly porous glass-ceramics by using a novel technique. After activation of the glassy slag in a weakly alkaline solution, foams were obtained by mechanical stirring with the help of a surfactant, and stabilized by gelification. Finally, the resulting open-celled structure was ‘frozen’ by a sinter-crystallization treatment. The Life Cycle Assessment carried out; also demonstrated the environmental benefits of upcycling MSWI BA into valuable building materials compared with the common disposal route.

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.
