DownloadsIn the project “BioSinn – Products for which biodegradation makes sense”, which was funded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (funding code 2219NR197), experts from the nova-Institute in Hürth near Cologne investigated whether there are applications and products for which biodegradation is a sensible or even the best end-of-life option. The selection criteria were that collecting the products (or their remaining parts), separating them from other organic waste or material recycling is not possible, economically not feasible or does not take place in practice. Further criteria were that the input of microplastics into the environment can be avoided through the use of biodegradable materials or that indirect positive effects, a relevant secondary benefit, can be achieved through the use of biodegradable materials.
The result of the project is a brochure for decision-makers from industry and politics but also for the general public, with 25 fact sheets and extensive background information on biodegradation. For each product, it explains to what extent biodegradation is a sensible and feasible option and what technical substitution options are available for a more sustainable use of materials. In addition, political framework conditions and regulations were highlighted and evaluated on a product-specific basis. For the first time, the market volumes for Germany and the EU were also surveyed and estimated. The total volume of the 25 applications in Germany is about 170,000 tonnes and in the European Union even about 1 million tonnes, of which the largest share ends up in the environment. Here, the use of biodegradable materials would bring considerable environmental benefits.

DownloadsIm Projekt „BioSinn – Steckbriefe sinnvoller biologisch abbaubarer Produkte“, welches durch das Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft gefördert wurde (Förderkennzeichen 2219NR197), wurde von Expertinnen und Experten des nova-Instituts aus Hürth bei Köln untersucht, ob es Anwendungen und Produkte gibt, für die der biologische Abbau eine sinnvolle oder sogar die beste End-of-Life-Option darstellt. Dabei waren die Auswahlkriterien, dass das Einsammeln der Produkte (oder ihrer Überbleibsel), die Abtrennung der Produkte von sonstigem organischem Abfall oder ein stoffliches Recycling nicht möglich, ökonomisch nicht realisierbar ist bzw. in der Praxis nicht stattfindet. Andere Kriterien waren, dass durch die Verwendung biologisch abbaubarer Materialien der Eintrag von Mikroplastik in die Umwelt vermieden werden kann oder dass durch die Verwendung biologisch abbaubarer Materialien indirekte positive Effekte, ein relevanter Sekundärnutzen erzielt werden kann.
Das Ergebnis des Projektes ist eine Broschüre für Entscheidungsträger aus Industrie und Politik aber auch für die breite Öffentlichkeit, mit 25 Produktsteckbriefen und umfangreicher Hintergrundinformation zum Thema biologischer Abbau. Für jedes Produkt wird erklärt, inwiefern der biologische Abbau eine sinnvolle und machbare Option ist und welche technischen Substitutionsmöglichkeiten es für einen nachhaltigeren Materialeinsatz gibt. Zudem wurden politische Rahmenbedingungen und Regularien beleuchtet und produktspezifisch ausgewertet. Erstmalig wurden auch die Marktvolumina für Deutschland und die EU erhoben und abgeschätzt. Das Gesamtvolumen der 25 Anwendungen liegt in Deutschland bei rund 170.000 Tonnen und in der Europäischen Union sogar bei etwa 1 Million Tonnen, von denen der größte Anteil in die Umwelt gelangt. Hier würde der Einsatz biologisch abbaubarer Materialien erhebliche Umweltvorteile bringen. (Stand: April 2021, Update Mai 2021) -

DownloadsNew study on the feedstock for global chemical and derived material sector and future prospects for the transition from fossil to renewable carbon sources
In a new study, total carbon embedded in products from the chemical and derived material sector is examined on a global scale. This includes product groups like plastics, rubbers, textile fibres, detergents and personal care solutions. For the first time ever, total global amount of embedded carbon is calculated, visualized and connected to the different feedstocks. Furthermore, end-user applications are investigated and depicted. A 2050 scenario is introduced, which outlines future prospects to transition from fossil to renewable carbon sources. Solutions for the highly interconnected chemical industry are illustrated together with supporting policy measures. This report aims to raise awareness of the need for, and the technical, industrial and political feasibility of, the biggest transformation of the chemical and derived material sector since the industrial revolution.

April 2021 No. 110Biorefineries present an alternative to fossil-based production, and can create employment, wealth and the ecosystem needed to make them function. Thailand is establishing a bioeconomy with widespread biorefining as a strategy for future economic growth. There is political will to establish in Thailand, if feasible, small, decentralised biorefineries to which farmers can locally deliver biomass as feedstock, which can then be processed into bio-based products. This would help to relieve rural poverty, which is still a problem in some areas of Thailand despite progress. Developing a biorefining roadmap will help to assess the feasibility of such an initiative.

DownloadsNew report on alternative, non-fossil naphtha with the first comprehensive overview of technology, producers, plants and users
Bio-based naphtha has been available on the market for a few years now. In Europe, about 150,000 tonnes are already used annually, mainly for polymer production. As soon as the political-economic framework conditions are right, this number could quickly increase to several million tonnes, which have flowed into the HVO (hydrotreated or hydrogenated vegetable oils) biodiesel market so far. These fuels differ only slightly from fossil-based naphtha in their chemical composition. The report presents 17 companies worldwide with capacities ranging from a few thousand tonnes per year to 3 million tonnes. There are currently plans for 50 new or expanded plants.
