There’s no doubt about it: resource use is freighted with consequences. It inevitably generates emissions and other untoward environmental effects across the entire lifecycle of each and every product. Moreover, growing resource scarcity and fluctuating raw materials prices are provoking severe economic disruption and social unrest.

Resource use
The high standard of living that we enjoy here in Germany depends entirely on the availability of natural resources. Apart from abiotic and biotic raw materials, we use water, soil, air, biodiversity and land as habitats and for recreational purposes; and for energy we use wind power, solar power and tidal flows. These resources also serve as emission sinks, waste dumps, and as indispensable production factors for farming and forestry.
But unfortunately – and inevitably – resource use across the entire supply chain generates environmental pollution; plus worldwide resource use is growing steadily.
