Abfall & Ressourcen

Project goal

The goal is to quantifythe waste generated in the Hietzing Hospital  by means of random sampling and weighing of non hazardous hospital waste in addition to the assessment of the filling grade of the waste containers.

Project goal

Goal is to update the quantification of the CFC stocks, and, based on the EU Ozone Regulation, to draw an affordable, practice-oriented and sustainable CFC management concept for Austria. In addition, a concrete step-by-step base for the implementation is to be drafted, so to keep the CFC emissions from old buildings as low as possible.

Project goal

Goal is the elaboration of an Ö-NORM (S-2096) that rules the application of the Material Flow Analysis Method for solving waste management problems.

Project goal

The Project goal is to provide an inventory of the historically cumulated physical stock of materials in EU-27 (EU-25 plus Romania and Bulgaria), and to forecast the expected amounts of waste generated, per resource category, in the next 25 years. Further, to provide an assessment of the life-cycle-wide environmental impacts from different scenarios towards waste prevention, recycling and environmentally-friendly waste treatment in the EU-27.

Project goal

The project aims at creating criteria for the development of wood products that meet all requirements towards look, functionality, recycling and reuse, and, after their last cycle of use, their potential to be employed as fuel. This way, the study is oriented towards the overall goal of wood management corresponding to the demands of sustainable economical management of resources.

Project goal

Goal of the project is the evaluation of the developed research results. For that purpose experts are invited to discuss the sustainable recovery and disposal of substances of an ozone depletion potential, still in use.

Project goal

The goal of the project „Contribution of the Waste Management to the Copper Metabolism of Austria“ is to identify the quantitatively most relevant copper-containing goods that circulate in the Austrian economy as well as to define their mass flows and stocks in production, supply and consumption. Additionally, the waste generation that occurs during raw material extraction, production and consumption is roughly estimated.

Project goal

The goal of the project NAKRA is to create the base needed for the analysis and evaluation of the waste situation in the Slovak and Austrian hospitals that participate in the project. Based on this, specific implementation measures are initiated that will enable the optimisation of the waste management, the reduction of the waste amounts or of the resource consumption in the hospitals.

Project goals

• Assessing the technical feasibility of a new low temperature process for selective recovery of calcium carbonate in deinking sludge or primary sludge of paper mills using this filler – The aimed end-product is high value-added precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC)
• Assessing process conditions controlling the end-product quality – The PCC can either be used on site or sold.
• Assessing the economical interest and environmental benefit by Life Cycle Analysis, technico-economic and market surveys
