Circular Economy
The circular economy aims to consistently avoid waste and emissions (zero waste, zero emission). With this background, processes for the treatment and recovery of each individual substance/material from a cycle of valuable substances and uses must be developed. In this context, the interlinking of material and energy flows at different levels at a location is important. Locations that are currently characterized by the provision of energy from fossil sources must be transformed into climate-neutral industrial sites that are fit for the future. Starting with today's recycling approaches, the only way to a sustainable economy is through a networked production process and a functioning recycling economy. The general goal, as laid out in the European Green Deal, is to reduce the absolute consumption of resources as well as the dependence on rare earths or raw materials that are difficult for Germany to access.
