This section provides information on project descriptions and publications detailing the best available environmental technology in Germany today. The projects published by Cleaner Production Germany are mainly national case studies on environmental protection which has been integrated into the production process. These projects are sponsored by Germany’s national and regional ministries, Länder-level agencies, or foundations with a governmental mandate. They include, for example, in-depth descriptions of large-scale projects sponsored and verified by Germany’s Environment Ministry (BMU) and Federal Environment Agency (UBA) which demonstrate new ways of avoiding environmental pollution or reducing it significantly. The German Ministry of Education and Research also publishes the results of its research into innovative technologies to protect the environment here.

The section is rounded off by publications (final project reports and research papers) for download and information regarding statutory regulations and specialist events.

Das Projekt untersucht, inwiefern kontaminierter Boden und BTEX- sowie MKW belastetes Grundwasser durch (Enhanced) Natural Attenuation (chemische, biologische Selbstreinigungsprozesse) gereinigt werden kann. Es zeigt auf, welche Bedingungen für den Selbstreinigungsprozess besonders förderlich sind und konzipiert eine Sanierungsstrategie. Expand…

The researchers in this project are working on the development, based on bionic principles, of innovative, highly efficient filter media for separating liquid particles from a gaseous medium. The filters are intended primarily for application in industrial production processes in which vaporisation and subsequent condensation produce aerosols. Expand…

The project team developed veneers with improved mouldability for 3D lamination and examined them to determine whether they could be applied using membrane pressing. Thanks to the low volume of materials required, veneers help to save resources, especially when using valuable or rare woods. Expand…

The system developed under the project combines an innovative hybrid collector with a heat pump, a latent storage unit and a combination stratified storage system. It saves more than 50% in primary energy and makes carbon-neutral heating possible.
In the mechanic-hydraulic cleaning process developed under the project, the scale to be removed (iron oxide) is used as the cleaning agent at the same time. The process is based on a patented high-pressure vacuum technology and reduces water consumption by 90%.
The proposed KOMTEG project has made a contribution to the recycling of complex technical consumer goods. Prototypes of recyclable pumps and low-pressure compressors were produced and industrial guidelines for recyclable design were drafted. For example, this design takes into account that basic component modules should be equipped with functions that allow for more versatile use. Further information is available in the German-language brochure.

The system developed under the project makes it possible to determine the purification parameters of the target protein quickly and simultaneously. It was possible to reduce the quantities of chemicals and resulting wastewater considerably as against conventional chromatography media.
Unseasoned timber has been analysed for strength, growth stresses and factors associated with the anatomy of wood. It has been possible to demonstrate mechanisms for the improvement of load distribution in fibre-reinforced materials. This is a prerequisite for cost-effective and light-weight construction. Expand…

An electroplating company built a mobile treatment unit in which any impurities are eliminated from the solutions at an early stage in the process using special ion exchangers. This saves large quantities of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution. All of the rinse water is treated in a reverse osmosis filter system and then reintroduced into the water cycle.

The objective of the Project was the developing of a modular storage system for hazardous materials, especially designed for small- and medium-sized companies. The Project was succesful in all details. With the developed system, costs for planning and construction of a storage system for hazardous materials can be cut down drastically. Expand…
