Anna Breitenstein untersucht Fragestellungen zur Planung und Gestaltung von Landfill-Mining-Prozessen als Alternative zum Status quo „Deponiestilllegung und -nachsorge“. Mit Hilfe eines stoffstrombasierten ökonomischen Bewertungsmodells führt sie fundierte Analysen zu Landfill Mining in...

In den letzten dreißig Jahren hat sich die Entsorgungswirtschaft in Deutschland grundlegend gewandelt. Insbesondere mit der Einführung des Dualen Systems wurden Sortierprozesse immer wichtiger. Ziel war es von nun an, die Verpackungsabfälle in möglichst sortenreine Wertstofffraktionen zu...

This paper argues that there are many challenges to designing and implementing water and sanitation interventions that actually deliver economic benefits to the households in developing countries. Perhaps most critical to successful water and sanitation investments is to discover and implement...

This paper uses private and environmental cost data for the Netherlands to evaluate the social cost of two final waste disposal methods, landfilling versus incineration using waste-to-energy (WTE) plants. The data only provide some support for the widespread policy preference for incineration...

This paper uses private and environmental cost data for the Netherlands to evaluate the social cost of two final waste disposal methods, landfilling versus incineration using waste-to-energy (WTE) plants. The data only provide some support for the widespread policy preference for incineration...

This paper evaluates the two well-known final waste disposal methods, incineration and landfilling. In particular we compare the social cost of two best-available technologies using a point estimate based on private and environmental cost data for the Netherlands. Not only does our comparison...

The economics of CO2 capture and storage in relation to the possibility of significant leakage of CO2 from geological reservoirs once this greenhouse gas has been stored artificially underground will be among the main determinants of whether CCS can significantly contribute to a deep cut in...

The diarrhoeal disease is the major cause of death among infants and children in Pakistan. The study is undertaken to highlight the importance of providing the WES facilities for the control of diarrhoel disease. The results of the study show that the incidence of diarrhoea is considerably...

The OECD/NEA Working Party on the Physics of Plutonium Fuels and Innovative Fuel Cycles (WPPR) conducted a physics code benchmark test for the recycling of plutonium as PuO2/UO2 mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in boiling water reactors (BWRs) compared to pressurised water reactors (PWRs). This volume...
