Ressourceneffizienz verspricht geringere Materialkosten, Importunabhängigkeit und geringere Umweltbelastungen. Die Einspareffekte lassen sich auf vielfältige Art erreichen: Sei es durch Einsatz neuer Technologien, Optimierung bestehender Technologien oder Strategien, die Produktion und Konsum aufgreifen. Das Buch zeigt anhand von 18 Beispielen, wie sich Ressourceneffizienz erfolgreich in Deutschland umsetzen lässt und welche Einspareffekte zu erzielen sind.
New technologies can be the basis for resource-efficient products and services and thus create eco-innovations, either by creating new functionalities in existing or new application fields or by substituting existing technologies in existing or new application fields. In this paper, an overview over different technology fields, products and strategies with resource efficiency potential, such as nanotechnolo- gies, material science, manufacturing technologies, process technologies and cross-cutting issues, is presented. There is a special focus on applications from nanotechnology issuing, e.g. functional surfaces or new "smart" materials with special functionalities. Furthermore, it is shown how companies can use the method Resource Efficiency Technology Radar to identify and evaluate technolo- gies with resource efficiency in order to incorporate them into their development activities.
