Landfill Mining in the Province of Styria

While previous landfill mining projects in Austria were primarily located in the area of environmental remediation, the project "Landfill Mining in the Province of Styria" should gain insight into the raw material potential of Styrian landfills. Based on field trials, dismantling concepts and recommendations specifically for the Styrian landfill landscape should be additionally developed. The following objectives of the project can be outlined:
- Identification of the key parameters for a basic landfill mining strategy of Styria,
- Estimation of the resource potential, the technical feasibility and the economic conditions of an operational landfill mining in Styria,
- Identification of implementation concepts under the specific conditions of Styria and
- Formulation of concrete recommendations for future projects as well as a Landfill mining strategy for Styria.

Beside the classical municipal solid waste landfills located in Styria, there was also a bale-landfill identified, caused by the operation of a so called "Müllhygienisierungsanlage" (waste pre-treatment plant) in the years between the 1980ies and 2004. In this municipal waste pretreatment plant, sieved fractions of plastics where pressed into bales and got dumped in separate areas of the landfill. Since the project preparation of "Landfill Mining in the Province of Styria", only a few weeks prior to the editorial deadline of the conference proceedings were available and therefore, only the coarse framework requirements of the project can be addressed in this report.

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.
