An understanding of mechanically and biologically treated waste characteristics can lead to an optimization of the Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT) technology. For a sustainable waste management, it is essential to determine the characteristics of the final MBT waste, the effectiveness of the treatment system as well as the potential application of the final material regarding future utilization.
The three countries (Luxembourg, Germany and Thailand) were chosen for this comparative study due to their unique MBT implementation. An analysis of MBT samples after the pretreatment process was carried out in order to define and compare their physical and chemical parameters and their geotechnical properties. The particle size of MBT waste is visibly smaller than untreated waste. Biodegradable material increases with decreasing particle sizes. Characteristics such as are significantly reduced water content, total organic carbon and potential heavy metals. The geotechnical results of the small fraction are improved to be highly compact, low permeability and highly water absorbent material. Within this analysis, different factors are characterized with regards to their (1) application of policy and past experiences, (2) their objectives in reduction of the overall amount of waste and enhancement of waste recovery, (3) funds, (4) effectiveness, (5) skills and cultures.

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.
