Dieser Bericht enthält Informationen, die zur Beschreibung von Kunststoffabfallqualitäten in der grenzüberschreitenden Abfallverbringung beitragen. Diese unterstützen die Auslegung der im Beschluss BC-14/12 der Vertragsstaatenkonferenz des Basler Übereinkommens im Mai 2019 festgelegten und gemäß Umsetzung in der europäischen Abfallverbringungsverordnung (VVA)1 ab 1.1.2021 EU-weit geltenden neuen Einträge für Kunststoffabfälle B3011 und EU3011 einschließlich der Gemische daraus in Anhang IIIA der VVA. Hierfür wurden zum einen fachliche Grundlagen zur Beschreibung von Kunststoffabfallqualitäten sowie relevante Spezifikationen, Normen und Regelungen unter Einbeziehung der Erfahrungen und Umsetzungshilfen anderer Länder und Regionen recherchiert. Flankierend wurden Interviews mit Branchenvertretern und Branchenvertreterinnen aus der Wirtschaft und von Wirtschaftsverbänden sowie mit Vertretern und Vertreterinnen der zuständigen Behörden geführt. Die Ergebnisse wurden in Fachworkshops diskutiert. Im Zentrum stand neben der Information der Akteure, der Umgang von Akteuren mit den unbestimmten Rechtsbegriffen insbesondere in den Bereichen Probenahme und Kontrolle sowie auch in den jeweiligen Sortier- und Aufbereitungsanlagen. Neben diesem Bericht entstanden im Forschungsprojekt eine englische Kurzfassung des Berichtes "Interpretation of the new entries for plastic waste in transboundary waste shipments", eine deutsch- und englischsprachige Broschüre "Grenzüberscheitende Abfallverbringung und die neuen Kunststoffeinträge" und ein FAQ, die auf der Website des Umweltbundesamtes veröffentlicht werden.

This report contains information that contributes to the description of plastic waste qualities in transboundary waste shipment. These support the interpretation of resolution BC-14/12 of the Basel Convention agreed during the conference of contracted states in May 2019. Through the implementation of the resolution in the European Waste Directive (Waste Shipment Regulation)1, since January 1, 2021 the new entries for plastic waste B3011 and EU3011 including mixtures thereof in Annex IIIA have been enforced throughout the EU. The technical foundations for the description of plastic waste qualities as well as relevant specifications, standards and regulations were researched for this purpose. This was supplemented by including the experiences and implementation guidance of other countries and regions. This research was combined with interviews with industry representatives from business and trade associations and with representatives of the relevant authorities. The results were discussed in workshops. In addition to the information from stakeholders, the focus was on how the stakeholders should deal with the imprecise legal terms, especially in the areas of sampling and control. The perspective of the sorting and processing plants was also considered. This English summarized version was produced in addition to the German-language report "Auslegung der neuen Einträge für Kunststoffabfälle in der grenzüberschreitenden Abfallverbringung". Furthermore, the following were produced a German- and English-language brochure "Grenzüberscheitende Abfallverbringung und die neuen Kunststoffeinträge" (Transboundary waste shipments and the new plastic entries) and an FAQ, which are all published on the website of the Federal Environment Agency.

Originally published in 1965, Social Policy became a classic text and one of the best-known and most widely-used textbooks in social administration. This book reissues the 5th edition of 1985. T. H. Marshall's masterly and unrivalled analysis of the development of welfare policies between 1890 and 1945 remains unchanged.

This book on Indian literature offers a critique of the aesthetics and politics of modernity as embodied in Indian bhasha literature of the past two centuries. It discusses the complex ways in which the bhasha imagination, even as it reshaped the history of colonial modernity, simultaneously allowed itself to be shaped by it in turn.
