Capability of MBT to Meet Treatment Targets in Different EC States

The focus of the EU landfill directive is the reduction of biodegradable waste destined for landfill on a solely quantitative basis. Trials on the bio-mechanical treatment and its effect on the landfill behaviour show that the quality of the remaining organic fraction for landfilling should be considered because it is more relevant than the quantity of biodegradable waste, in terms of the level of gaseous emissions from landfill.

This leads to the incongruous situation where one could treat the waste to reduce the environmental impact of landfill, with respect to landfill gas emissions and leachate, by more than 90 % but still not achieve the EU landfill threshold values. This paper indicates how the change of biodegradability which is achieved during the mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) process and what treatment periods are required to achieve treatment targets specified within EU.

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.
