The supervision of this PhD work was ensured by Professor Henrik Wenzel (SDU) and Professor Thomas Pretz (RWTH Aachen University). The main funding body was the Danish graduate school 3R Residual Resources Research. Furthermore, the work was closely linked to and partly financed by the TOPWASTE project (www.topwaste.dk) project. This PhD thesis consists of a synopsis of the research work presented in four published papers and one report published by the newly established Centre for Life Cycle Engineering. Throughout the thesis, the papers and report are referred by the names of the authors and the Roman numerals I – V (e.g. Cimpan et al. (IV)). The thesis is based on the following publications: I.

It is a privilege first and foremost because it allows for selfish devotion of countless hours to learning things that one is passionate about. It is a privilege also because it allows for meeting, interacting, working and sometimes forging long-lasting connections with extraordinary people. For setting me on this road but also for his support in tackling any research related challenges, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Henrik Wenzel, whom trusted my capabilities as a researcher and tirelessly supported and acknowledged my efforts. I thank him foremost for expanding my understanding of the complex facets of sustainability. Deep gratitude goes also to Prof. Thomas Pretz, for hosting me as a visiting researcher in the Department for Processing and Recycling in RWTH Aachen, and especially for taking time to convey to me methods for techno-economic assessment and priceless understanding regarding the materials recovery industry. From the many wonderful colleagues I met in Aachen, I want to specifically give thanks to Anja Maul, for making my stay both productive during work time, and enchanting outside it, by showing me the wonderful nature and medieval sights of the Eifel region. I would like to thank all my colleagues in the new Centre for Life Cycle Engineering, and particularly Lorie Hamelin for scientific support and the many stimulating conversations, Marianne Wesnæs for invaluable administrative and moral support, Komal Habib for being always a great office mate and travel companion, and Keshav Parajuly for many friendly games of foosball and relaxing coffee breaks that were definitely needed. In addition, I extend special thanks to Marianne Rothmann, for all the hard work she put into the study that concluded this PhD. At last, I want to thank and dedicate this thesis to my better half, Adriana, who not only listened to innumerable hours of waste talk during the last four years, but also proofread and corrected the manuscripts of my papers and this thesis. iii iv Summary Waste treatment technologies develop over time, and so do background conditions on which waste management systems rely. During the last and expectedly also the coming decades, political developments have and will, thus, significantly change the framework conditions for optimizing waste management. The dominating future background conditions have been found to be defined especially by the development within three policy areas. Firstly, by increased efforts to ensure a proper management of material resources, providing stepping stones towards a “circular economy”, including enhanced targets for material recovery and recycling. Secondly, an increased integration of renewable energy in energy systems, motivated by objectives both to ensure energy supply security and to mitigate adverse impacts of global warming. Thirdly, by waste management policies themselves, including regulations like banning landfilling, schemes on taxes, fees and subsidies and last but not least, the liberalization and development of an international market for waste management services. With regard to materials recovery for recycling from municipal solid waste (MSW), current European waste policy prioritizes source separation and separate collection. However, there are noticeable economic and social limitations with this approach, which motivate a search for innovative solutions. Within the likely (and politically targeted) development of background energy production, the current “one size fits all” approach towards waste-to-energy (WtE), through

Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark.

  • The National Climate Conference 18Th + 19Th August 2021
    THE NATIONAL CLIMATE CONFERENCE 18TH + 19TH AUGUST 2021 Will the COVID-19 pandemic teach us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”The pandemic, the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis are all signs that we as humans do not adapt to our sur- roundings, but believe, that we can get nature to fit into our needs. Our recent loss of control with nature should make us more humble”. (Andreas Lloyd, Information, 2021) THE CORE MESSAGE FOR THE CONFERENCE Will the COVID-19 crisis show us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”That crises and disasters constitute opportunities for societal learning and innovation is a historically well-known phenomenon. It took place after the Second World War, after the oil crises in the 1970s, the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the Katrina flood disaster in New Orleans in 2005, and after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear and tsunami disaster in Japan in 2011. There is reason to work so that the COVID-19 crisis can similarly become a starting point for learning in relation to dealing with the more extensive climate crisis. ” MC-couple (Climate and Adjustment Council, 2020).

During the pandemic, there has been both economic and popular support for major societal changes. The vision for the National Climate Summit 2021 is to rethink climate action in the light of what the pandemic has taught us about community, leadership and global action.

  • What Motivates Nature Volunteers and How Is the Nature Status on the Areas They Manage?
    UNIVERSITY OF COPENH AGEN What motivates nature volunteers and how is the nature status on the areas they manage? - A case study of Danish grazing organizations and open natural habitats Sari Frank Madsen Master thesis 60 ECTS Supervisors: Jesper Sølver Schou, Niels Strange and Flemming Ekelund Departments: Food and Resource Economics (IFRO) and Biology Submitted 3th of September 2018 Preface This project came to life, in connection with the completion of my master thesis in biology (ecology) from the University of Copenhagen and a personal interest in behaviour and biological diversity. As human impact on nature expand and biodiversity decline, we need to find viable action making coexistence possible. I constructed an interdisciplinary study, concerned around vegetation status of open natural habitats and the motivation among nature volunteers. It is my hope to clarify motivation among people volunteering for nature and if possible connect it to the status of the areas they manage. I would like to extend my greatest gratitude to members of Arrenaes grazing organization, Bondemosens grazing organization, Copenhagen grazing organization Dalbyhoj grazing organization, Furesoe grazing organization, Hjortespring nature conservation association, Hojmosen grazing organization, Jyllinge Holme sheep association, Kasted fen grazing and conservation organization, Kelleris grazing organization, Kodriverne, Konusserne, Munksoegaard grazing organization, Nivaa sheep breeding association, Petersminde grazing organization, Saerlose grassland forest boar and grazing organization, Slaglunde grazing organization, Slotsmosens grazing organization, Soellerod nature conservation- & grazing organization, Sondermarkens grazing organization, Soroe grazing organization, Svogerslev grazing organization, Taarnby conservation organization, The grazing organization of Avedoere salt meadow and Utterlev grazing organization participating in this project, without you this could not have been done.
