The Environment Agency of England and Wales has sponsored research into evaluating organic waste biodegradability test methods for monitoring the diversion of biodegradable waste from landfill following treatment by MBT and other processes. The methods that were subsequently selected for this application were the aerobic DR4 and the anaerobic BM100 tests.
A round robin laboratory evaluation of the DR4 and SRI methods carried out using organic wastes from an MBT plant indicated that the DR4 method may be more reliable than the SRI method for measuring the biodegradability of some partially composted wastes. It is thought that the use of a microbial seed (mature greenwaste compost) in the DR4 method might have contributed to the increased reliability. A modification of the SRI test with respect to also using a seed indicated that this would increase the reliability of the SRI for fresh or only partially degraded waste as well.

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.
