This study assessed greenhouse gas emissions of different municipal solid waste treatment technologies currently under assessment in the new regional plan for Attica in the frame of addressing the country’s contemporary waste management challenges.
Waste management (WM) activities and especially disposal of waste in landfills that generates methane (CH4) contribute to global greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions approximately by 4%. In Greece, the main method of solid WM remains landfilling; apart from this, 22 Material Recovery Facilities (MRF) are in operation for source segregated recyclables, 5 Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT) plants exist in 2010 (4 operating) and 8 more MBT are planned and expected to be constructed in the period between 2010 and 2020. In Attica Region (Greater Athens area) 2,200,000 t Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) (wet weight) were generated in 2008, of which 12% were recycled and 350,000 t were treated in the existing MBT plant (Figure 1). Taking into account the current hellenic WM policy, the forecasted population growth and the anticipated waste growth, 2,800,000 t MSW are expected to be generated annually by 2030 (Figure 1). Considering the above, new WM infrastructure is necessary in order to meet the targets of the Landfill Directive 99/31/EC. The aim of the present study is to assess the GHG emission impacts of the proposed technologies for the Integrated Waste Management Centre (IWMC) in W. Attica in the context of different scenarios.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
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.
