“China will shoulder its share of responsibility to play its part in this common endeavor. We also urge developed countries to fulfill their
historical responsibility, honor their emission reduction commitments
and help developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate
change.”
Xi JinpingPresident of the
People‘s Republic of China
“There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more
dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and
growing threat of a changing climate.”
Barack ObamaPresident of the USA
Resource efficiency hot topic on the global politics agenda
“Circular Economy strategy aims to mobilise efforts to keep the added value in products and materials for as long as possible, maximising resource efficiency and eliminating waste and thereby reducing environmental impacts..”Karmenu Vella, EU Commissioner

On August 8, 2016 , we have used as much from nature as our planet can renew in the whole year.
We use more ecological resources and services than nature can regenerate through overfishing, overharvesting forests and emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than forests can sequester.

Tremendously Growing Population needs more resources, it took all of human history up to the early 1800s for world population to reach 1 billion people, and until 1960 to reach 3 billion. Today, the world gains 1 billion people every 11 years(www.populationaction.org).

Future growth rates of steel production / consumpti onStrong Growth in Emerging Markets
Source: IISI; The Economist; Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd., Iron & Steel Market Review (Jan. 2012); Scholz Estimates
� Today the key forces that drive the iron and steel market upwards are the expanding infrastructure in the emerging economies, booming industrialization and urbanization.
� The overall growth rates of the mentioned areas is forecasted to reach up to 6% p.a. in the coming five years which promises lasting demand growth for iron and steel.
� Per capita steel consumption in emerging markets is still far below developed markets which will drive further growth in the steel sector and will finally enhance the further development of the scrap recycling sector.

� The world is at the state of a devastating situation: the time limit to reduceclimate and ressources risks lies by 10 – 15 years for the human race
� We need to disconnect life quality (economy growth) from consumption of thenature by increasing productivity of resources
� A „turning point of resources“ (ecological modernisation) can lead to a newquality of growth, new jobs and new market segments; with an economicalstructural change many can win but not all
� Accelerating material and energy reduction needs ecological industrialpolicies by incentives which are based on currently implanted processes
� „GreenTech made in Germany“ can stand for a successful country poor ofraw materials and dependend on foreign economy

Consequences for a sustainable economic andenvironmental policy
� support of sustainable growth and acceptance of climate change
� support of sustainable industrial policy based on innovative efficient technologies
� increase of production of energy from renewable sources
� support of highly qualified personnel for resarch & develoment of efficient technology
The Challenge
We need regional solutions forglobal problems

Raw materials Conflicts Predicted
� Dependency of high oil and natural gas consumption in OECD countries changeable only in long term (20-40years)
� Rising dependency on imports of OECD countries and emerging marketsfrom sinking numbers of suppliers for oil and gas
� Growing regional unbalance between energy production and energyconsumtion; concentration of ressorces in politically unstable regions
� Accelerating climate change possible by depleting oil sands andliquidification of coal (CLT) as well as non-ecoefficient use of biomasses forbio fuel
� Growing political price volatility (Iran) due to „fear surcharge“ : uncalculable risks for global market
� Risks for democracies: centralisation and market domination by productsand global transportation; susceptibility of black mail by ractive suppliercountries

Climate Change and Recycling ?
What are the positive contributions of the sector? Recycling means less energy consumption, lessgreen house gas emissions and less rawmaterial consumption….

1 ton recycled steel scrap* save 1 t CO2-equiv., 650 kg iron ore and 500 kg coal. 1 ton recycled Aluminium save 9,87 t CO2-equiv. and1 ton recycled Copper saves 3,52 t CO2-equiv.

Conclusions
� Recycling business is an increasing market for resource efficiency
� Recycling technologies have to be implemented in less developedcountries
� All eco technologies have a positive impact for green house gas savings
� Raw material saving is triggered bei diverting waste from landfills
� New technologies need further research (chances for cooperationprojects)
� Resource efficiency will be pushed by increasingg energy prices (higherenergy prices provide e.g. an advantage to substitute iron ore by scrap, but availability is limited)
