    Rohstoffe werden knapp, sowohl Metalle wie auch Mineralien. Nur erneuerbarer Kohlenstoff ist praktisch unbegrenzt verfügbar. Daher werden Kunststoffe in Zukunft noch wichtiger sein als heute, und deshalb müssen sie so nachhaltig wie möglich gestaltet werden: aus erneuerbarem Kohlenstoff und voll recycelbar.

    The 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).

    The 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.

    This 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.

    In 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.

    Im 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)
