1. Is this the end of end-of-waste? Uncovering the space between waste and products

Author:

European Union,   etc   ; circular economy; wastes;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... End-of-waste has been promoted as a potential game changer in the circular economy. But the implementation of end-of-waste has largely failed in the European Union, as it has proven difficult to agree on joint criteria. The issue has therefore been decentralized, typically all the way to local authorities, which lacks capacity to determine when waste shall cease to be waste. For the few waste type ...

Abstract:
... This paper examines the effects of environmental innovation on carbon dioxide emissions in the EU-27 countries between 1992 and 2014. We utilize the Generalized Method of Moments in a dynamic panel setting. Patent counts of environmental patent applications are used as indicator for environmental innovation. We find that environmental innovation did contribute to reductions of carbon dioxide emiss ...

Abstract:
... Technical and governing approaches to urban flooding in the European Union (EU) are currently conventional and centralised. This widespread paradigm has become increasingly ineffective and needs radical transformation. A promising alternative strategy involves the development of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which mimic natural processes to manage floods. In this article, the effects of SuD ...

Abstract:
... The coordinated development of environmental pollution and the economy has become a global problem. Emission trading scheme (ETS) has become a significant environmental policy instrument, prior studies primarily concentrated on micro-level factors with specific industries; there lacks discussion on the effects of ETS on macro-level industrial structure such as industrial structure upgrading. In th ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates the convergence of per capita renewable energy consumption across 15 core EU member countries over the period 1990–2018. In addition to the traditional convergence tests, this paper employs a Lagrange multiplier (LM)–based panel unit root test that allows for two endogenously determined structural breaks to test for the stochastic convergence. Given the shortcomings of stoc ...

Abstract:
... Beginning in 2023, allowances held in the market stability reserve of the EU ETS above the number of allowances auctioned the previous year will be cancelled. In this paper, we analyse the consequences of this new cancellation mechanism. Using numerical analysis, we show that additional national abatement measures now have the potential to reduce total EU ETS emissions. A key insight is that, for ...

Abstract:
... After exposure of soils to anthropogenic organic chemicals non-extractable residues (NER) can be formed. The quantitative proportion of a compound which remains non-extractable is operationally defined by the extraction procedure employed and can be quantified only when using isotope labelled compounds (e.g. ¹⁴C or ¹³C). In Germany and the EU, there is no standardised procedure, how to determine N ...

Abstract:
... Two years ago, the EU appeared to be well on the way to meeting its 2020 energy efficiency targets. 2014 final energy consumption was lower than in any year since the 1980s and lower than the level required in 2020. Since then, energy consumption has risen in two consecutive years and looks set to have kept on increasing. If these short-term trends continue, the 2020 targets will be missed. In thi ...

Abstract:
... Postponing the issue date of allowances in a cap-and-trade scheme, by e.g. a reserve mechanism, impacts the time profile of low-carbon investments. If the postponement constrains intertemporal arbitrage, short-term investments increase but long-term investments are deterred. This effect aggravates the shortage of long-term investments at least partially attributed to firms’ impatience. The cancell ...
