The aerobic degradability of different types of biologically degradable polymer (BDP) packaging in two selected home composting systems was investigated during a test period of 12 months.
Tested items were starch based films, copolyester coated starch trays and poly lactic acid (PLA) cups. The results of two experimental test series are presented here: indoor pilot-scale experiments under optimised environmental conditions and outdoor pilot-scale trials under the conditions of European climate. Tested BDP items degraded well with the exception of (PLA) products. Mass based degradation rates of starch based materials were detected between 67 and 97% in indoor trials after 12 months of processing. The type of composting system showed only slight variations in the degradation velocity and final degradation values were detected in the same range. Generally no significant differences of the degradation behaviour between in- and outdoor composting trials and the different systems were detected.

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.
