The cycle economic and waste law (common abbreviation: KrW /AbfG) is the central law of the German refuse law. It is in the year 1996 to the place of the earlier waste law (law for avoidance and disposal of wastes; Abk. AbfG) stepped and regulates fundamentally handling along and the disposal of wastes. In detail it contains in particular of regulations over

the term "“waste"”,

the principles and basic obligations of the cycle economy,

the requirements of the recycling of waste and the refuse disposal,

the product responsibility of manufacturers,

the waste (economics) planning,

the permission of dumps,

the monitoring of waste streams.

(It notes that the permission of refuse disposal plants, which are not dumps is subject like e.g. incineration plants, not KrW /AbfG, but to the federal immission control law.)

A goal of the cycle restaurant law is it to minimize the resources employment for each product unit. Here can for the environmental policy following "§ 4 of the cycle economic and AbfallG [(KrW /AbfG)] the following hierarchy of objectives to be given:

Avoidance

before reduction

before utilization

before removal.

KrW /AbfG supplemental by a whole set of statutory orders, which were issued due to appropriate authorization bases KrW /AbfG. They serve usually to concretize and complete the regulations KrW /AbfG for completely in each case determined subjects. To these statutory orders belong in particular:

the packing regulation,

the proof regulation,

the dump regulation,

the trade waste regulation,

the mature timber regulation,

the waste listing regulation,

the transportation permission regulation,

the disalignment regulation,

the sewage sludge regulation,

the old autoregulation,

the battery regulation, among other things

In addition KrW /AbfG concretized by some important administrative regulations, in particular the technical guidance waste (TA waste) and the technical guidance settlement waste (TA settlement waste).

Apart from the Federal Law steps the refuse law of the Lands of the Federal Republic, which have usually for their part waste laws with supplementing regulations as well as further statutory orders and administrative regulations.

KrW /AbfG is affected to completely substantial extent by European right. In particular the European waste framework guideline (RL 75/442/EWG) determined the appearance of many regulations KrW /AbfG - so for instance the regulations over the waste term -. European and German refuse law are however not completely congruent, partly in a way, which hurts European right. Thus the German refuse law partly carried out for instance the demarcation between recycling of waste and refuse disposal according to newer iurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in Europeanillegal way.
