In spite of the fact that the EU has set up a waste hierarchy and issued key pieces of waste management directives, and ratified by all EU member states, compliance with diversion targets away from landfilling are still considered too ambitious and are far out of the reach of many EU countries. This is especially true for the southern European and Eastern European Member States, who are looking for viable economic and robust technologies that be rapidly implemented assisting them to fulfil EU targets within the desired timeframes.
In the wider context, growing concerns about the increasing resource demand by society and the poor way society has been dealing with waste and natural resources call for increased attention to waste management practises by local and regional authorities. Landfilling and incineration, the most common practices for waste management worldwide, are not universally seen to be an acceptable or affordable solution in many EU countries with consumer resistance often causing conflicts with decision makers, who have the responsibility to try to find an economic workable solutions for that location and culture. The targets set by the EU to reduce landfilling are not being reached. In addition, trends in the EU are requiring member states to adopt ever more complex and costly separate collection systems of recyclables, and putting more responsibility for correct separation on the householders adding significant costs and infrastructure investments across the board in what are mostly strapped for cash municipalities in many European countries. This paper addresses the urgent search for viable solutions to enable municipalities to quickly implement advanced waste management strategies based on technological innovation and stakeholders acceptance.

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.
