Waste minimisation implies the application of procedures such as waste prevention or the reuse of waste products. From a practical point of view it is rather difficult to implement large scale reuse of products which have to be managed in order to create an economically and ecologicallyfeasible system. Thus, the real challenge is to receive a sufficient quantity of products in good condition from the user, to minimise financial issues and efforts in order to maximise reusable output. (Session A2: Waste management strategies)
The possibility of reusing household products is linked to the implemented waste collection system. The nearer the household to reuse facilities the better the remaining quality and the higher the share of reusable products from this waste stream. The present paper illustrates different options for receiving products from households for the purpose of reuse as second hand items. By means of selected examples, the different economic, environmental and social aspects of these options are discussed in relation to demand on the respective market (national, international), risks and obstacles. Most of the examples selected originate from Austria, showing the current state of reuse activities at the beginning of the 21st century.

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
