Challenges for the Traceability of NGTs From a Legal Perspective
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (11/2022)
The regulation of new genomic techniques (NGTs) by European gene echnology law is not only of scientific-academic value, but also affects quite considerable economic interests. While the use of the corresponding technologies in the “red sector” – i.e. for human medical purposes – is still viewed with restraint in view of the risks to human health that are to be ruled out, the hoped-for multi-billion revenues in the “green sector” of plant biotechnologymean that less restraint tends to be exercised here.

PlasticFreeDanube: Composition of macro-plastic waste in and along the Danube River

The reliable estimates are essential to developing measures to reduce plastic pollution and to make successes measurable and visible. For this reason, the cross-border project "PlasticFreeDanube" (PFD), which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund within the framework of Interreg Slovakia-Austria, aims to gain new knowledge on this topic for the Danube.

Biodiversity constitutes the special value of all animated nature. It can be described as a variety of life forms with all their changeability at the micro- and macroscopic levels. It is the sumof all genes, species, habitats and natural processes that are the essence of existence on earth.

Measures to Implement an Advanced Waste Management System in the Czech Republic
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
The Czech Republic is now preparing the new complete revision of waste law. The transformation of the waste management into the circular economy started through the legislative process in June 2016. Waste management plan of the Czech Republic for 2015 to 2024 clearly specifies waste strategy and priorities for the country. Thus, in the Act on waste the ban on landfilling of recyclable and recoverable waste in 2024, obligatory separate collection of main municipal waste streams including biowaste since 2015 and currently proposed increase of waste landfilling tax with strict recycling targets already in 2018 are only the first milestones leading to smarter waste future in the Czech Republic.

The Added Value of the Balance Method for Waste-to-Energy Operators and National Authorities
© ThomĂ©-Kozmiensky Verlag GmbH (9/2016)
Different directives of the European Union may require operators of Waste to Energy WTE plants to monitor the composition of their waste feed with respect to the Content of biomass and fossil organic matter. The mass fractions of both materials are not only of relevance for the amount of fossil and thus climate relevant CO2 emissions of the plant, but also for the ratio of renewable energy generated, as biomass in wastes is considered as renewable energy source.

Identifying the factors influencing environmental attitudes and behaviors of rural population in Crete, Greece
© European Compost Network ECN e.V. (6/2014)
Rural population affects local environment in a far more significant way that urban population affects the global one. The attention that has been given for the past decades in informing the rural population and changing their approach towards environmental protection is insignificant in comparison with the relevant efforts made for the urban population. As a result local environment is often facing a considerable and possible irreversible deterioration, mainly due to the way the relevant population conducts its daily practices.

How to Operate as Technology Provider and Contractor in the International EfW World

The classic main markets in Europe for EfW plants have come close to a point of saturation. Legislation and many efforts spent over the past years to introduce an environmentally friendly disposal of municipal solid waste resulted in a network of plants and capacities of which a major extension may not be expected anymore.
