has been specified <strong>on</strong>ly for some product types such as packaging <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>waste</strong><br />
electric <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> electr<strong>on</strong>ic equipment. For <strong>waste</strong> generated by <strong>household</strong>s, the<br />
Recycling Management <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Waste Act assigns resp<strong>on</strong>sibility to the local public<br />
<strong>waste</strong> disposal authorities (in most federal states these are the districts <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
towns). Their resp<strong>on</strong>sibility covers collecting <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> transporting <strong>waste</strong>, measures<br />
to promote <strong>waste</strong> preventi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> recovery, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> planning, c<strong>on</strong>structing <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
operating <strong>waste</strong> disposal facilities. Municipalities have more practical tasks<br />
such as providing sites for <strong>waste</strong> collecti<strong>on</strong>. (EEA Report No 7/.,2009)<br />
One of the key means of diverting <strong>waste</strong> from l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>fills is limiting the <strong>organic</strong><br />
c<strong>on</strong>tent of l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>filled <strong>waste</strong>. A l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>fill ban was introduced to achieve this goal. It<br />
was introduced in two steps <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> using three pieces of legislati<strong>on</strong> because the<br />
initial statute c<strong>on</strong>tained severe loopholes.<br />
The first step was an administrative regulati<strong>on</strong> (TASi) in 1993, which limited the<br />
<strong>organic</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent in <strong>waste</strong> going to l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>fills to less than 3 % total <strong>organic</strong> carb<strong>on</strong><br />
(TOC). Achieving such a low <strong>organic</strong> c<strong>on</strong>tent necessitated thermal treatment of<br />
the <strong>waste</strong>. The debate c<strong>on</strong>cluded that incinerati<strong>on</strong> should be the <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
pre-treatment method but it was agreed to extend the transiti<strong>on</strong> period from 8<br />
to 12 years so the final deadline would be 1 June 2005. The aim was to allow<br />
enough time to establish treatment capacity especially in the federal states<br />
formerly situated in East Germany. Moreover, it was agreed to permit<br />
exempti<strong>on</strong>s in excepti<strong>on</strong>al cases to allow some flexibility. Finally, the Bundesrat<br />
(the body at which the federal states are represented) called <strong>on</strong> the Ministry of<br />
Envir<strong>on</strong>ment to define the criteria for envir<strong>on</strong>mentally sound l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>filling of<br />
residues from mechanical-biological treatment. (EEA Report No 7/.,2009)<br />
In some cases states exp<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed the use of incinerati<strong>on</strong> as a method of <strong>waste</strong><br />
treatment in order to achieve the targets set by TASi, whereas others invested<br />
in MBT as the main pre-treatment method <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> made use of extensive<br />
exempti<strong>on</strong>s from the provisi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Separate collecti<strong>on</strong> of bio<strong>waste</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> paper is also regulated mainly through<br />
legislative measures. In 1983 the Federal State of Hesse initiated separate<br />
collecti<strong>on</strong> of bio<strong>waste</strong> to divert <strong>waste</strong> from l<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g>fill. Between 1985 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1993 the<br />
number of inhabitants with a collecti<strong>on</strong> system for bio<strong>waste</strong> increased from 400<br />
000 to 7.6 milli<strong>on</strong>. Interventi<strong>on</strong> at nati<strong>on</strong>al level came in 1993 with TASi, which<br />
requires the competent <strong>waste</strong> authorities to set up separate collecti<strong>on</strong> schemes<br />
for bio<strong>waste</strong> from <strong>household</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> garden <strong>waste</strong> from public parks. (EEA Report<br />
No 7/.,2009)
