Regenerative Energie
Since the mid eighties, composting of separately collected biowaste has undergone an impressive growth across Europe. First separate collection schemes in Germany were established in 1983, but even before then, composting had been adopted as a disposal route for municipal solid waste, through the attempt to sort the putrescible fraction mechanically.
Implementation of schemes to compost biowaste couples strategies for environmentally sound waste management with goals of sustainable management of soils. As a matter of fact, policy-making is increasingly focusing on the importance to keep or restore high levels of organic matter in farmlands, as a means to improve fertility, store carbon (thereby fighting climate change), improve workability, fight erosion, landsides and floods, retain water, increase biodiversity of soils, and so on. On the other hand, diversion of biowaste from landfills fulfils the goals of modern management of landfill sites, whose main target is to cut production and release of biogas and leachate. Recycling of biowaste through composting and anaerobic digestion, fosters the economy of recycling - and also improves conditions for the recovery of energy from residual waste, which shows a higher calorific values once biowaste is sorted out. Strategies for effective source separation, treatment and recycling of organic waste already show a fairly long track record in Europe, which provides for plenty of tools to optimise local schemes.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

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.
