Description

Rising resource efficiency is essential for a future green economy. Research and business activities in this field have thus increased dramatically during the past decades. While most environmentally oriented methods suffice to provide deep transparency, few have the ability to depict optimization potential and/or provide procedural methods of improvement. The general approach of ecological amendments in industries thus often is investment intensive. Numerous companies however do not dispose of appropriate savings. These companies strongly depend on low cost improvements, a field that has yet been neglected in research.
