Crutches for Afghanistan
Every year a high number of crutches is disposed of in Germany, as the health system intends them for single use only. Meanwhile, many people in the global South suffer from a lack of medical supplies. Especially in war countries, the quality of life of many wounded people could be significantly improved through functioning prosthesis, wheelchairs, and crutches.

Enticing Consumers to Avoid Waste - Digital and Analogue Ways of Raising their Awareness Prof. Ulrike Gelbmann Martina Zimek
The top priority of waste management in accordance with the Austrian Waste Management Act is waste prevention (§ 1 (2) AWG), which takes place largely outside the waste regime. Still, it is a prime task of waste management authorities to encourage the actual actor, producers of goods and products and consumers, to engage in waste prevention.

Mining the Cities – Infrastructure and Producer Responsibility? Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sabine Flamme, M.Sc. Peter Krämer
Infrastructure is a frequently used term, but its conceptual meaning is so broad that it needs to be further defined and sharpened for the purposes of this contribution. The German DUDEN – Dictionary of Economy – defines infrastructure as “all public and private facilities that are regarded as essential to ensure sufficient services for the public and facilitate economic development“ [1].

From waste to materials management John Wante
The waste framework directive forms the legal basis of European waste legislation. The original directive dates from 1975 and was thoroughly revised in 2008. This revision served several purposes. First of all, the revision was part of the process of “better regulation” in which existing environmental legislation is screened on potential simplification without lowering the level of environmental protection. The new waste framework directive integrates three old directives, namely the old waste framework directive, the directive on hazardous waste and the waste oil directive, three pieces of legislation that showed considerable overlaps.
