Regenerative Energie
Waste-to-Energy Plants (waste incineration with energy recovery) thermally treat municipal and similar waste that cannot otherwise be reused or recycled in an environmentally or economically beneficial way, and generate energy from it.
Currently, there are some 450 plants in Europe (400 in EU 28) with a capacity of treating 78 million tonnes of municipal waste per year (72 million tonnes in EU 28).
Waste-to-Energy and Recycling have complementary roles in ensuring that high quality recyclable materials are available to replace virgin materials within the economy.
Together they are also instrumental in diverting waste from landfills and reducing Greenhouse gas emissions.
In light of the European Commission’s recent proposals on the circular economy and particularly on the waste targets, the instrumental role Waste-to-Energy plays in closing the loop to a circular economy will be presented in this article.

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.
