Waste prevention measures do not just aim at the reduction of waste; they also prevent the environmental impacts associated with the utilisation of resources during their entire life cycle. Thus, a key issue in waste prevention is its environmental assessment. Review of international literature reveals that the use of life cycle assessment is an established way for carrying out this kind of environmental assessments.
The aim of this paper is presentation of the results of different case studies dealing with the preliminary environmental assessment of waste prevention activities in households in Greece. The first deals with the assessment of home composting while the second examines the environmental impacts of the prevention of printed advertising material. Relevant scenarios are built and assumptions are introduced for study of the life cycle environmental impacts of those prevention activities. Two case studies based on the current situation in Greece have been analysed utilising life cycle assessment. The results of the first study indicate that home composting is environmentally preferable over the current organic waste management situation in Greece, while the second case study shows that the prevention of waste advertising material has clear environmental benefits. More research is required in order to quantify the environmental benefits of preventing other waste streams via the use of LCA.

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.
