The Current Situation of MBT in Germany

More than 7 million Mg (tons) of mixed municipal solid waste are annually treated in Germany by mechanical (MA), mechanical-biological treatment (MBT), mechanicalbiological drying (MBS) or mechanical-physical drying (MPS) treatment. Especially the launch of those plants that comprise biological treatment steps was often accompanied
by severe technical problems. This led to controversial statements in the press and other public media.

The German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) wanted to get an overview about the real situation to allow an objective, factual evaluation of the current situation. In the framework of the environment research plan (UFOPlan) Wasteconsult international received the order for data collection and evaluation. The present paper summarises the most important results concerning mass balance, the compliance of landfill criteria and compliance of boundary values for exhaust gas.

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.
