Regenerative Energie
To evaluate the utilization of biowaste bags of biodegradable polymers in biowaste collection IGW Ingenieurgemeinschaft Witzenhausen Fricke & Turk GmbH conducted a practical trial, considering various aspects relevant to waste management, in cooperation with the City of Remscheid Waste Management Company.
The trial was supported financially and by providing the biodegradable waste bags by the following companies: BASF AG, Bayer AG, Biotec Biologische Naturverpackungen GmbH & Co. KG, Melitta Haushaltsprodukte GmbH & Co. KG, Natura Verpackungs GmbH and Novamont GmbH. The trial was conducted in a residential area of 2,000 households of dense building structure in the City of Remscheid. Fifty percent of the households were supplied with biodegradable waste bags and were informed by a public awareness campaign. The remaining households were taken as a comparison, they collected their biowaste as usual (reference area). The influence of biodegradable waste bags on the general acceptance of separate biowaste collection among the population was determined by a survey.
The impact on biowaste quantity and quality was determined by performing biowaste analyses. Providing biodegradable waste bags had a positive impact on public acceptance of biowaste collection. The people concerned found the biowaste collection in the household easier and more convenient. After introduction of the bags, the relevant households collected significantly more biowaste than in the reference area. Since public awareness campaigns were run successfully the degree of contamination of the biowaste was not negatively influenced by the utilization of products that look similar to conventional plastics.

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.
