We are proud of a project of importance for international environmental pollicy: We were commissioned by the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt – UBA) to develop a set of indicators to measure progress towards a more sustainable chemistry and chemicals management. The purpose of these indicators is to enable reviewing progress of the targets that are currently developed and discussed in the Intersessional Process of SAICM and sound management of chemicals and waste.

CSR Sustainability Report: N³ Comments on the ESRS

Leave a Comment / blog /

Up to Date: EFRAG presented the revised draft of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) at the end of November 2022. It’s now up to the EU Commission to decide whether these improved, yet still overcomplicated, rules for CSR reporting will be enacted in their current form. After N³’s detailed comments on ESRS E5 “Resource use and circular economy” in the first draft of April 2022 were largely considered, we’ve also commented on the new ESRS in extracts. Our statement can be downloaded at the end of this blog post.

Urban Mining: N³ Analyzes the Potential for Bonn

Leave a Comment / blog /

What metals can be extracted in what quantities in a city today and in the future? This is the prerequisite for “Urban Mining”: We need to know which resources are present in households, buildings, or infrastructure. Only then can we make these resources available to the economy again when their use comes to an end. The aim of “Urban Mining” is to replace primary raw materials, saving not just valuable resources but usually also energy. This can also help avoid greenhouse gas emissions, especially during raw material extraction.

Environmental Tax Reform? Global Resource Convention?

Leave a Comment / blog /

It is really a truism: The depletion of non-renewable resources, especially rare minerals and metals, threatens our and our childrens‘ future. How to cope with resources? N³ was responsible for scientific support and recording of the European Resources Forum (ERF) and its German equivalent (Nationales Ressourcenforum – NRF) hosted by the Umweltbundesamt. About 400 experts from all the world joined the ERF (November, 26-27) and about 300 mostly German visitors joined the NRF (November, 28). Svenja Schulze, German Minister for Environmentals Affairs, opened the ERF. Topics discussed:
