Regenerative Energie
SUMMARY:
Organic waste management will be increasingly influenced by decisions and the legislation in Brussels, e.g. EU Strategies on Soil Protection or on Waste Prevention and Recycling. The EU Landfill Directive which requires the diversion of the fermentable portion of the municipal waste to be landfilled up to 65 % in 2016 is one of the main drivers in Europe.
Besides separate collection and composting the mechanical-biological treatment MBT offers another option to fulfil the diversion requirements. MBT capacities to stabilize the waste prior to landfilling increased therefore rapidly in the last years and will amount by the end of 2005 up to 13 million tons. Biological waste treatment has rapidly developed during the last years in nearly all European countries, the acceding countries included. A look in the future shows that approx. 40 % of the total waste amount in Europe can be biologically treated via composting and digestion. The total annual potential of organic residues from kitchens, gardens and parks in the former EU of 15 countries amounts to approx. 50 million tons. 42 per cent of it is momentarily source separated and can be recycled by means of the existing composting and digestion plants. The production of around nine million tons high-quality bio and green waste composts is mostly used as soil improver or as organic fertiliser (Status 2003).

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.
