The material recycling of plastic waste has still an enormous potential, even in countries like Austria or Germany, which have a highly developed waste treatment system. At the moment, approximately 2/3 of the utilized packaging plastics are treated thermally, i.e. as waste derived fuels, and only 1/3 are routed for material recycling.
In terms of an improved resource efficiency,and consistent with the actual European legislation, the material recycling of plastic has to be enhanced. The material recycling often fails because the plastic waste consists neither of monomaterial, nor is it clean enough. The development and the industrial implementation of material recycling processes gets continuously more attractive, particularly due to the increasing raw material prices of primary resources. In terms of plastic waste, thermal or thermochemical conversion process can be taken into account for material recycling, like for example pyrolysis, thermal or catalytic cracking. Ahomogeneous, and impurity-lean feedstock is the precondition for a stable operation of those conversion processes, and the production of usable products (petrochemical intermediates). Incontrast to mechanical recycling processes, thermochemical conversions need neither pure Feeds nor mono-materials.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

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.
