9. Renewable materials – Closing the loop
• Life cycle thinking
• Different complementary strategies
• Reuse
• Recycle
• Biobased
• Circular materials cycle / economy
• Link with SMM - ecodesign

13. Energy versus materials
ENERGY MATERIALS
resources coal, petroleum, gas, U, RE huge diversity
additives none mixed
stocks (in technosphere) almost purely flow large stocks in society
waste and recycling only emissions is a serious problem
(radio-active waste)
comparison with surrogates energy-equivalent value of materials??
Little incentives
Clear incentives

14. “Customer are green until they reach the pay desk”

15. Transition
• New versus mature technology
• Lack of knowledge, data
• “Tempory suboptimal”
• Economies of scale
• Change of behaviour
