Veröffentlichung Methodological Convention 3.2 for the Assessment of Environmental Costs(German Environment Agency, 2024)The new version of the UBA Handbook on Environmental Value Factors – the „Methodological Convention 3.2” – contains a partial update of the monetized environmental impacts published in the “Methodological Convention 3.1”, based on new value factors for greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. A comprehensive update of all value factors – including components such as emission factors and utilization rates – will be published in the Handbook on Environmental Value Factors 4.0, scheduled for 2025.Environmental value factors reflect the benefit of environmental protection for society – and the costs that society incurs if environmental protection is neglected. The value factors can be used in the public sector to assess, e.g., the impacts of regulation and infrastructure investments, and for the design of economic instruments. In the corporate sector, the value factors can be used, i.a., to inform management decisions, monetize the environmental impacts of financial investments, and in sustainability reporting.Veröffentlichung Brochure: Digitalisation and natural resources(German Environment Agency, 2024)The ‘DigitalRessourcen’ research project analysed the resource intensity and greenhouse gas emissions of the digital transformation in Germany at both micro and macro level. The resource intensity of digital applications was calculated in ten case studies (micro level) using LCA methodology. At the macro level, raw material consumption (RMC), raw material input (RMI) and the carbon footprint of digitalisation in Germany were calculated for the ICT sector for the years 2000-2020 and seven scenarios were modelled for the years 2020-2050. Based on this, areas for shaping a more sustainable digitalisation and the need for further research were identified.Veröffentlichung Класификация на отпадъци, вземане на проби и анализа им(Umweltbundesamt, 2015)The aim of the EU waste policy is the promotion of the circular economy in order to conserve resources on the one side and to protect human health and the environment on the other side. Before the decision about appropriate treatment options of waste can be made the correct characterisation of waste is necessary. This brochure provides guidance on classification, sampling and analysis of waste.Veröffentlichung Разделно събрани биоотпадъци – предпоставка за производството на висококачествен компост и ферментационен продукт в България(Umweltbundesamt, 2018)This flyer informs stakeholders in Bulgaria about the importance of separately collecting bio-waste for decreasing the amount of biodegradable waste being landfilled and increasing material recycling. It informs about nutrients and energy contained in bio-waste, about different types of bio-waste, about the proper separation of bio-waste and about the options to use compost or digestate produced from bio-waste. Particular attention is given to composting and anaerobic digestion and to the value of the products from these processes: compost and digestate. The flyer is available in Bulgarian only.Veröffentlichung Осигуряване на качеството на компоста и ферментационния продукт(Umweltbundesamt, 2018)In order to decrease the amount of biodegradable waste being landfilled and to increase material recycling, Bulgaria intends to extend its composting and digesting activities. Establishing a quality assurance system for compost and digestate is expected to support this initiative. This brochure provides information on the legal framework related to bio-waste in Bulgaria, but also in the EU and in Germany, as well as information on Germany’s quality assurance system for compost and digestate, in order to give orientation and share experiences. It is available in Bulgarian only, but the brochure “Quality assurance of compost and digestate. Experiences from Germany“ is available in English.Veröffentlichung Regional and local optimisation of material flows and cycles(Umweltbundesamt, 2019)On the basis of five case studies, the brochure "Regional and local optimization of material flows and cycles" shows how municipalities can contribute to resource conservation by optimising regional material cycles, which challenges they face and which framework conditions are necessary for successful implementation. The brochure was developed as part of the "RegioRess" project, which shows that although resource efficiency is not yet a priority topic in most municipalities, municipal actors are already implementing various projects and measures for optimising material flows, above all on a sectoral basis.Veröffentlichung 堆肥产品和沼渣的质量保证(Umweltbundesamt, 2018)Establishing a quality assurance system for compost and digestate from bio-waste can help to decrease the amount of biodegradable waste being landfilled and to increase material recycling. Germany has been successfully operating such a system since 1989, comprising also an organisation with the competence to control the quality of compost and digestate and to award a quality label, the Bundesgütegemeinschaft Kompost e.V. This brochure introduces to the quality assurance system of compost and digestate in Germany in order to give orientation and to share experiences. It provides information, inter alia, on the legal framework related to bio-waste in the EU and in Germany, on involved organisations and on requirements. This brochure is available in English and in Chinese.Veröffentlichung Ecologically sustainable recovery of bio-waste(BMU/UBA, 2013)Germany already excels in the separate collection of bio-waste and its recovery: on average more than 100 kg of bio-waste and green waste are collected separately per person and year, which translates into a total annual amount of around nine million metric tons.Veröffentlichung Components for the Transformation into a Sustainable Food System(German Environment Agency, 2024)The publication summarizes three strategies for transforming the food system that have been outlined in the “STErn project”, namely the promotion of a more plant-based diet, the further development of the organic farming and food industry and the strengthening of regional value chains. Measures to implement these strategies are bundled into three overarching approaches and presented graphically in the form of profiles. An interactive graphic provides an overview of all 39 proposed measures at a glance.Veröffentlichung Die Zukunft im Blick(2014) Hirschnitz-Garbers, Martin; Deutschland. UmweltbundesamtDie Welt ist in einem Prozess der ständigen Veränderung und Weiterentwicklung – dazu gehören nicht nur die technologischen Fortschritte, sondern auch gerade Veränderungen in der Umwelt, den politischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Systemen. Für eine vorausschauende und vorsorgende Ressourcen- und Umweltpolitik ist es wichtig, sowohl die großen, aber auch die emergenten Entwicklungen frühestmöglich zu erkennen, kritisch zu beobachten und rechtzeitig entsprechende Antworten auf diese Veränderungen zu erarbeiten. Der vorliegende Bericht aus dem Projekt „Modelle, Potenziale und Langfristszenarien für Ressourceneffizienz“ (SimRess) zeigt eben solche Entwicklungen und Trends auf, die einen Einfluss auf die Gestaltung einer nachhaltigen Ressourceneffizienzpolitik haben können. Die großen Megatrends, wie demographischer Wandel oder Klimawandel werden in diesem Zusammenhang nicht betrachtet. Der Fokus der Beschreibungen liegt bewusst auf kleineren und bisher weniger beachteten Entwicklungen. Ziel dieser Broschüre ist es, die Akteure der deutschen und europäischen Ressourcenpolitik für mögliche Chancen, aber auch Risiken zu sensibilisieren sowie neue Sichtweisen für die zukünftige Gestaltung darzustellen.
