About this work

Emil Lederer: Intervention on Waste Collection and Utilization (1921)

This brief official commission-record intervention examines the economic difficulty of separating waste collection from utilization when one enterprise performs both. Lederer frames the problem through their organizational connection:

Ich erblicke eine Schwierigkeit darin, daß eine Unternehmung sich bestrebt, sowohl die Abfuhr als die Verwertung zu betreiben.

English translation: I see a difficulty in an enterprise seeking to carry out both collection and utilization.

He then tests the justification for expropriating the collection activity alone. Prohibiting an enterprise from collecting waste does not formally prohibit its utilization, yet deprives it of the material needed for that activity. His conceptual move is to distinguish the legal scope of an intervention from its economic consequences: formally separable operations remain materially interdependent. The contribution identifies a problem for evaluating partial expropriation, without proposing a solution or establishing whether such intervention is justified.
