Assessment of mbt terms of diverting organics from landfill in accordance with uk regulations

The Organic Resource Agency Ltd (ORA) is the UK partner in an independent European consultancy and engineering group specialising in sustainable waste management. ORA works in partnership with our colleagues from IGW in Germany, which allows us to combine the experience from both the UK and continental Europe in terms of the performance of recycling schemes combined with that of advanced waste treatment technology including mechanical and biological treatment (MBT), anaerobic digestion and in-vessel composting.

ORA are currently working on several projects where MBT has been selected as a major component of a County Council’s waste management strategy. In these situations MBT is the preferred technology to treat the residual waste as part of a wider strategy which includes waste minimisation, recycling and composting of source segregated materials. The function of MBT is typically to increase the diversion rate of BMW beyond that which can be achieved by source segregation of materials such as garden waste, kitchen waste, paper and card. The MBT delivers further diversion by the stabilisation of the waste which is sent to landfill in order to reduce its BMW content as determined using the Environment Agency Guidance (Environment Agency, 2005). Additional BMW diversion may also be achieved by the separation of the high calorific and less degradable fractions such as wood and card as refuse derived fuel or other recovery/recycling activities.

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.
