Inorganic and Organic Pollutants in Compost – Approach for an EU-wide Quality Definition

SUMMARY:
This paper is the result of a study carried out on behalf of the Directorate-General for the Environment of the European Commission in the context of the European waste management policy and work on the biological treatment of biodegradable waste.

The aim was to a) identify the pollutants and their concentration in compost produced from biowaste and/or residual municipal waste across the Community (including a comparison of background concentrations in food and feeding stuff, soils, specific source materials for composting) b) assess different sampling techniques and analytical methods used in Member States c) elaborate of a scientific concept for limiting the amount of pollutants in compost and stabilised biowaste with a view to long term soil protection in the Community. The data found include regional and temporal variations and the comparison with existing threshold and limit values. Further scenarios of pollutants accumulation in the soil are considered for the evaluation of limit values and long term application schemes. This derivation of limit values is taking into account sampling, sample pre-treatment and analysis statistical errors.

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.
