DownloadsDas Image der Kunststoffe steht heute in der Krise. Wie konnte es so weit kommen und was kann man tun, um das Image wieder zu verbessern? Kunststoffe sind wichtiger denn je für eine nachhaltige Zukunft. Alle Technologien stehen zur Verfügung, um Kunststoffe umweltfreundlich zu gestalten und im Kreislauf zu fahren. Wie können wir die Gesellschaft wieder davon überzeugen, dass eine Welt mit den richtigen Kunststoffen komfortabler, ressourcenschonender und klimafreundlicher sein wird als ohne?

DownloadsThe good practice catalogue is the result of the collection and evaluation of good practices of the circular economy from the work of the project WoodCircus. 26 good practices are showcased, divided into four different categories:
- Circular economy concepts;
- Efficiency and processing;
- Reuse and recycling and
- Waste and side stream utilisation. Each good practice is presented with an individual fact sheet describing the focus on the technology or process, regionality and transferability, and highlighting particular strengths with respect to the circular economy.

DownloadsWoodCircus opened the discussion with industry experts on how to measure the circularity of wood. The result is a rating system with the 13 social, economic and environmental indicators, which was used to compare practices in the wood sector and develop a catalogue of good practices. This document describes the 13 criteria in detail and provides an example of their application.

DownloadsToday, the various biocomposites can be easily used in a wide range of applications and have reached the mass market as an alternative to conventional plastics. The annual growth of biocomposite granulates has been estimated be 5 % by nova-Institut for 2020 to 2028 (CAGR). What are biocomposites? Basically, any material that consists of natural fibres or particles and a binder (e.g., polymer, resin) can be called a biocomposite. Biocomposites are a collective term for natural fibre-reinforced materials that are partly or entirely of biogenic origin. The report shows a full list of all biocomposite granulate producers in Europe.

DownloadsThe climate crisis is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with global warming, greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation leading to food insecurity, global health problems and biodiversity loss. Greenhouse gas emissions associated with the use of carbon-containing fossil energy sources such as oil, coal and natural gas have been shown to be a major contributor to climate change. Thus, for decades the focus of climate protection has been predominantly on the energy sector. A new initiative is now expanding this view. Learn about the history and activities of the Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI).

DownloadsEine Transformation der Wirtschaftsweise mit nachhaltigen, biobasierten Methoden eröffnet der Industrie einmalige Chancen für den Strukturwandel im Rheinischen Revier. Doch wie genau sehen die Beschäftigungseffekte, Umsätze sowie die Relevanz regionaler Industrie-Sektoren für eine biobasierte Wertschöpfung im Einzelnen aus?
Das nova-Institut hat im Auftrag der Strukturwandelinitiative BioökonomieREVIER hierzu eine Studie vorgelegt. Sie beleuchtet qualitative und quantitative Potenziale der Industrien in der Region. Diese erste Bestandsaufnahme zeigt, dass die regionale Sektorenvielfalt förderlich sein wird für die Etablierung neuer, branchenübergreifender Wertschöpfungsketten.

DownloadsThe plastics industry of the future will be decoupled from petrochemicals and will meet its carbon needs primarily from recycling. This alone will not close the renewable carbon cycle. The unavoidable losses will then be closed by bio- and CO2-based polymers.

DownloadsThis paper describes a fossil carbon tax as a potential realisation of the planned Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism of the EU. It provides several advantages compared to a CO2 emission tax, such as complexity, carbon leakage, eligibility to WTO rules or taxation coverage of all sectors in the economy. With its focus on the raw material aspect, it is a much simpler and elegant approach than an end-of-pipe solution that looks at CO2 emissions.
