Dr. Stefan Haas
Multiple crises, gloomy news and a pessimistic mood characterized the year 2024. Is it even possible to look to the future with confidence in light of this? Absolutely! Without a focus on the positive, on the opportunities that exist even in the crisis, we will not escape the negative spiral.
Soon available

Opinion
Apart from the scientific quality of the publication, it is, as is all too often the case, its publication in the press that poses a problem. The study does not mention TÜV AUSTRIA, and the authors do not referrer whether the bags tested were certified or not.
Fact check
Frontiers recently published the results of a UCL study of home composting among a panel of volunteers in the UK. This article was picked up by the press, turning the findings into catchy headlines, which in turn led to doubts about the ability of certified compostable products to actually compost.
