The Waste Framework Directive 2000/98 (WFD) contains specific provisions to define end-of-waste criteria (EWC). The objective of EWC is to remove the administrative loads of waste legislation for safe and high-quality waste materials, thereby facilitating recycling. The objective is achieved by requiring high material quality of recyclables, promoting product standardisation and quality assurance, and improving harmonisation and legal certainty in the recyclable material markets.
Composting is one of a number of alternative treatment options for biodegradable wastes. However composts should cease to be waste only if they are placed on the market for a purpose for which adequate rules on the use of compost apply. Establishing EWC for compost offers environmental and economic benefits as this improves harmonisation and legal certainty, promotes the production of compost with high and reliable quality and facilitates its use, by avoiding unnecessary regulatory burden. The first technical working group meeting on EWC criteria for compost and digestate of the European Commission took place at the Joint Research Centre 'Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (JRC-IPTS)†on the 2 March 2011 in Seville (ECN, 2011). Based on the JRC report (JRC, 2008; ECN, 2011), in which the methodology for determining EWC for different waste streams (metals, aggregates, compost) was developed, the EU Commission has assigned the JRC to work out a proposal for end-of-waste criteria for compost and digestate too. The paper focuses in the determination of EWC for the production of high quality compost for several applications.

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.
