Successful development in Germany
Goal of the federal government is to double the (abiotic) raw material productivity (RMP) (National Strategy for Sustainable Development)
Value added (GDP)
Extracted + imported, used, abiotic raw material = Direct Materialinput (DMI)RMP =

Public Governance for more RE
Existing technological and organisational solutions for more resourceefficiency are not sufficiently implemented (recycling, substitution, savings).Different policy elements can accelerate the development:
Regulation Market-Based Instruments Voluntary Instruments Information
- standards
- prohibitions
- subsidies
- taxes/ fees
- cap and trade
“Voluntary” instruments, such as sectoral agreements refer to the self- organisation of market actors.
- Provision of scientific and technological knowledge
- Funding information
- Labelling
Overcoming different types of barriers for more RE
Using the innovation ability of SME’s
VDI ZRE
The policy toolkit to promote innovation and its implementation

Page 9 | Act Clean Final Conference| October 14th, 2011 | Dr. Martin Vogt © VDI Zentrum Ressourceneffizienz GmbH
The main tasks of VDI ZRE are to provide information and to identify standards of best practice into all fields of technical applications. Goals:
Reduction of :
consumption of natural resources
Goals and strategic focus
Increase of:• Value added to the economy• Number of jobs• Qualification of employees• Biodiversity and Health
Main fields of action: Manufacturing Sector and Construction Sector.

The approach of VDI ZRE
… is Information, Cooperation and Activation.
Increasing the
competitiveness of SME by
realising cost-savings
through RE.
VDI ZRE helps to identify
these potentials.

Excursion: VDI Guidelines (activity of VDI e.V.)
VDI Guidelines play a very important role as pioneers for international standardization:
Accessible for all market participants, they allow savings by reducing information and control costs as well as costs
for adjustment and trading.
Technical knowledge can spread faster. Standards thereby facilitate contractual arrangements, commercial transactions, and serve to reduce technical trade barriers
VDI Guidelines thus help to relieve government from the duty to implement additional layers of regulations.
Today 1.800 valid VDI Guidelines extensively covering the broad field of technology. Topics range from securing loads on road vehicles to testing of optical fibres up to biomimetics and monitoring of the consequences of
genetically modified organisms.

VDI Guidelines on Ressource efficiency
VDI 4597 Rahmenrichtlinie Ressourceneffizienz
VDI ZRE currently contributes to the development of:
VDI 4598 Ressourcen-effizienz in KMU
VDI 4599 Kumulierter Rohstoffaufwand
The development of further guidelines is under consideration.
Long term goal: all RE-related Guidelines become part of a VDI handbook on RE.
