Kann Kreislaufwirtschaft das Klima retten?
Can circular economy save our climate? While the success of the market economy is meticulously recorded, measured, interpreted and communicated, the success of the circular economy has hardly been recorded statistically. The aim of this type of economy is to optimize benefits. This is measured by the increase in the quality and quantity of stocks of manufactured goods, natural, human and cultural capital and also includes the broad field of non-monetary society, the sharing society. Doing business in cycles is sustainable. - More economical: economically reconditioned goods are much cheaper than new, - More environmentally friendly: Repairs and reconditioning use few resources, generate little waste and only local transport, - More socially acceptable: economic activity in cycles is labor and knowledge intensive. Our value chain is resource and energy intensive and ends with the end consumer. 80% of the raw materials contained in consumer goods end up in garbage dumps, in sewage or in incineration plants. It is different in a closed cycle system: through continuous reuse of resources, hardly any waste is generated; efficient use reduces the use of resources. Circular economy is also discussed as an important, promising topic at the political level. In Austria there are rough framework conditions, but the implementation is still reduced to a purely waste management issue. Energy, housing, transport and the circular economy are the important key concepts of successful climate policy. The circular economy model is already a recognized alternative concept for achieving the SDGs. An important question remains: How can the transformation to a circular economy succeed? After a lecture by Sepp Eisenriegler (Ed. Circular Economy in the EU; R.U.S.Z.) we discuss this question in the FreuRaum.
