Close the Circle IV – Presentation of the CTC Award
On October 1, 2024, the CTC Award (details: https://ghezzo.at/awards/close-the-circle-award.html) will once again be presented as part of the Conference on Circular Economy and Water Resources. The CTC Award is an important award for sustainability players – primarily companies and start-ups (in two categories, namely the “circle closer” and the “circle enabler”) – on the path to a circular economy.
I published my first article on climate change (Die Welt verkommt zum Treibhaus) back in the 1980s in MC Report 3/87.
As these circumstances have unfortunately proven to be true, we urgently need to make rapid progress in converting our economic system in order to at least mitigate the effects of climate change.
This summer, with its prevailing heat and water shortages, is a good example of this.
The CTC Award winners are selected by the jury, of which I am a member. The task of the jury members is to award prizes to projects, products and services that provide particular impetus in terms of sustainability.
These are circular economy projects that massively conserve resources and promote reuse and, in particular, regeneration. Naturally, issues relating to reducing the use of primary energy sources and resource efficiency are also addressed.
We reject greenwashing, superficiality and mere showcase programs. They contradict the evaluation criteria.
Submissions are still possible until 8.9.2024.
Do not hesitate to bring your projects before the curtain.
Newsletter CSRD, CSDD, association law, Whistleblower Directive
In recent years, there have been extensive legal innovations at EU level, the national implementation of which is now also of great relevance to you.
The newsletter deals with the following current topics in particular:
– Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)

We would like to report on this and introduce you to the key points of the CSRD, CSDDD and the EU Supply Chain Act.
Furthermore, our law firm also focuses on associations, in particular in connection with the drafting and revision of articles of association and rules of procedure as well as new formations or reorganizations of associations. In our newsletter, you will find information on the latest changes under the Charities Reform Act 2023.
The Whistleblower Directive, including its national implementation in the Whistleblower Protection Act, is also of great importance.

Lecture by Elisabeth Moser-Marzi: Basics and overview of the draft PPWR with plastic-related aspects
Newsletter Waste Management Law, Whistleblower Directive
The last 1.5 years have been influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects.
Nevertheless, time does not stand still.
There are extensive legal news, which we would like to inform you about in our newsletter.
As you know, we mainly represent technical professions and institutions as well as companies with a high research, development and technology focus as well as their proponents and experts; also doctors, civil technicians, engineers, experts, etc.
Another focus of our law firm is the legal advice of companies with an affinity for plastics – plastics in particular are subject to strict and increasing regulations due to the latest EU developments.
We would like to report on this – in particular on the last amendment to the Austrian Waste Management Act (AWG), which was passed in the National Council in 2021, and also on the amendment to the Packaging Ordinance.
The Whistleblower Directive is also of great importance, although there is still no final Austrian implementation.
You can also find details on this in the attached newsletter.
We are at your disposal for questions and detailed information.
A lot has also happened in our law firm. Lukas Weinhandl, LL.M. (WU) joined as a lawyer. Details on his professional career can be found in the newsletter.
We wish you interesting reading.

Plastics in packaging law – operational audits by the packaging coordination office (VKS)
Plastics form the technological basis in the fight against climate change. They remain the materials of the 21st century.
Despite massive criticism and legal challenges, they remain indispensable in the packaging sector. However, many companies have problems with the correct implementation of the Packaging Ordinance and the required release from obligation, as inspections commissioned by the Packaging Coordination Office (VKS) show.
This is particularly true in the area of plastic packaging. In order to offer professionalization and legal support for affected companies, I offer with the expert Dr. Christian Keri on
12/10/2022
on the amendment of the Waste Management Act and the Packaging Ordinance 2021 an ARS seminar in Vienna.
Representatives of affected companies are cordially invited to participate. Commercial packaging has also been subjected to massive legal changes.
Details can be found on the homepage: www.moser-marzi.at or Elisabeth Moser-Marzi • Advisor at the ARS Academy.
