Session

    III Sustainable Production and Resource Efficiency

III.S2 How to save Raw Materials? European Experiences from Several Industry Branches


Date: 25/09/2008
Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Location: Skylounge

Target Audience: Resource depending industries, producers and distributors of resources, authorities, resource experts from science and industry, economists
Objectives: Exchange of experiences and results from resource efficient innovations from various European countries. Presentation and discussion of best practice examples for sustainable production.
Format: Moderated presentation session
Language: English

The session presents resource efficient innovations from five countries. The focus is on a strategy for waste and resources use prevention in Ireland, the development and implementation of environmental indicators in the paper-, metal-, textile and chemical industry in Romania and the substitution of chemicals in a wet processing textile mill in Turkey to reduce the environmental influence. If integrated management systems motivate companies to move towards a more sustainable management is the question of a Danish presentation. If wastewater treatment plants are resources for secondary phosphates and a new process for harvesting water from humid air are the subjects of two German presentations.

Regional aspects for sustainable production and resource efficiency, management methods and process integrated solutions for the improvement of resource efficiency in several industrial branches, cleaner production and best practice examples are the topics of this session.
