Does EU waste legislation comply with the best available MBT technologies?
My presentation is driven by the rejecting attitude we have faced during the establishing process of the very first mixed municipal solid wastes MBT terminal in the Baltic states. During the preparatory phase of the presentation, the presumable cause for the doubts of local Estonian officials became evident – sorry to say, but it all starts from the existing
and emerging European legislation. MBT technology, especially processing mixed solid wastes and the subsequent products is described in a number of EU documents that regulate waste handling in a manner that allows them to be held an evolutionary deadend, if desired. Ecocleaner has been engaged in investigating MBT problems for four
years. We operate the Baltic first mixed municipal solid wastes MBT terminal since the 1st of January, 2008. The aim of the presentation is to introduce a possible utilization field that is already tested in practice, and the associated problems.

Development of local municipal solid waste management in the Western Transdanubia region of Hungary
© Lehrstuhl für Abfallverwertungstechnik und Abfallwirtschaft der Montanuniversität Leoben (11/2020)
Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.
Large-Scale Composting of Biowaste and Bio-Organics from MSW by using the TAIM WESER Composting System
© Wasteconsult International (5/2011)
Since almost two decades TAIM WESER GmbH (former WESER-ENGINEERING GmbH) is designing, building and commissioning composting-plants for treating curbside collected biowaste as well as the organic fraction of municipal solid waste in order to produce high quality compost for agricultural use or compost like output, a compost suitable to be used for e.g. road-greens, parks, re-greening of brown-fields or to fight against desertification in arid areas.
Optionen zur Verwertung von Siebresten auf Bio- und Grünabfallkompostanlagen

Bei der stofflichen Verwertung von Bioabfall, bzw. der Produktion von Kompost entstehen im Rahmen der Aufbereitung und der Konfektionierung Siebreste. Nach überschlägiger Schätzung liegt der Anteil bei jährlich ca. 800.000 bis 1.000.000 Mg.
Recovering biowastes from municipal waste to land: maintaining public confidence through regulation
© Wasteconsult International (6/2009)
This paper explains how the Environment Agency is developing its approach regulating the recovery of compost-like output (CLO) derived from the mechanical, biological treatment (MBT) of mixed municipal solid waste. This is currently the focus of our attention on the recovery of a range of organic wastes. The paper gives the author’s current answers and views on the following questions:
What is MBT CLO and how can it be used?
What are the problems with its use and the restrictions that are imposed?
What is the position of the Environment Agency on sustainable use of biowastes and the use of MBT CLO on agricultural land?
What is the demand, and how much CLO is there?
What are the risks and how are we regulating them?
How will we improve the evidence?
This approach is driven by the belief that we can only increase public confidence in the recycling of biowastes if we actively maintain public confidence in how we regulate those risks.

Potenziale zur Optimierung der stofflichen und energetischen Biomasseverwertung in der Region Hannover
© Witzenhausen-Institut für Abfall, Umwelt und Energie GmbH (12/2008)
Im Rahmen der aktuellen Klimaschutzdiskussion wird über Konzepte einer effizienteren Verwertung von organischen Abfällen nachgedacht. Durch die Bioabfall- und Grüngutverwertung zu Kompost werden Nährstoffkreisläufe mit der Rückführung von Kompost auf landwirtschaftlich und gartenbaulich genutzte Flächen geschlossen. Diese Nährstoffrückführung senkt den Bedarf an mineralischen Düngern (insbesondere Phosphor und Kali), die unter hohem energetischem Aufwand produziert werden. Dieser Umstand sollte in der aktuellen Diskussion nicht unberücksichtigt bleiben.
