Enforcement of the Landfill Directive 99/31/EC poses new challenges and asks for innovation in waste management strategies with particular reference to the need to “treat” waste before landfilling and to the fulfilment of targets for diversion of biodegradable waste.
Even though source separation shows to be able to fulfil targets of the Landfill Directive by itself, transitional situations have to be considered, as long as source separation is not yet fully implemented and widely diffused. In this respect, MBT (Mechanical-Biological Treatment) may play an important role.
One key point in new strategies for waste management should be the need to consider treatment methods for residual waste which provide for necessary flexibility of the system, as long as the growth of source separation is still
underway. As a matter of fact, the growth of source separation changes progressively both the quantity of residual waste to be disposed of, and its properties, with particular reference to its calorific value. The adoption of MBT-type treatments of residual waste – which may also be coupled with subsequent energy recovery of fractions with higher calorific value – may provide for the needed flexibility of the system in the long run.
A comprehensive evaluation of the role of MBT, different approaches to implement it, and of regulatory aspects as to acceptance at landfill sites, is therefore key to successful implementation of innovative, integrated strategies. Given the outputs of MBT also include a stabilised organic fraction, an assessment is also needed of relationships with strategies for mixed waste composting and subsequent possibilities to use “grey compost”.

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.
