Splitting of heterogeneous waste by sensor-based sorting as a basis for optimized material-specific waste-routing

In the presented work material-specific sensor-based sorting was evaluated for its technical application on heterogeneous wastes on a pilot and a large scale, in order to optimize the routing options of waste streams in an economically attractive way.

Two sorting steps were conducted with the aim to process the specific waste streams and to generate value-added output streams. The first sorting step should allow for quality improvements (chlorine, heavy metal content) in the present waste streams in order to increase available options for industrial (co-)incineration. The second one aimed at increasing the biogenic carbon content, as the portion of biogenic CO2 emissions gains in importance whenever waste is being co-incinerated in facilities subject to the EU emission trading scheme on CO2. The trials indicated that the application of sensor-based sorting for the splitting of the heterogeneous waste streams looked at is technically feasible as well as economically attractive.

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.
