[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”207943″]Recycling plays a central role<\/strong> in conserving resources and protecting the climate. Every year, Interzero conducts a comprehensive life cycle assessment together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT<\/strong> . This clearly shows how recycling reduces the consumption of raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, we are making an important contribution to promoting the circular economy and achieving global climate goals<\/strong> . “resources SAVED by recycling” serves as the key to resource and climate protection. In 2023, Interzero saved more than 11.1 million tons of primary raw materials by recycling around 2.5 million tons of recyclable materials in Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy and Slovenia<\/strong> . This amount corresponds to the raw materials that around 28.6 million EU citizens consume in one year through their textile consumption. In addition, these measures avoided around 1.2 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong> . This corresponds to the annual CO2 emissions that 4.5 million EU citizens would cause through textile consumption. Our partnership with the renowned Fraunhofer UMSICHT makes it possible to underpin the ecological benefits of recycling with valid data. These figures prove that recycling<\/strong> not only conserves resources, but also represents significant added value for climate protection<\/strong> . The results of the study help to further advance the transformation to a circular economy and support companies in achieving their sustainability goals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”178864″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_button button_color=”color-184177″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FjXoRxJUQHiE|target:_blank|” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”214271″]Watch our video on Youtube[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_button button_color=”color-870240″ border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Finterzero.at%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F7%2F2024%2F10%2FInterzero_Broschuere_resourcesSAVED_Deutsch_web.pdf|title:Interzero%20resources%20SAVED|target:_blank|” button_color_type=”uncode-palette” uncode_shortcode_id=”179345″]Download our PDF[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”129073″]Similar article on this topic: Interzero publishes study resources SAVED by recycling 2023<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”121052″]Latest news:<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner limit_content=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”17877″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”four-three” uncode_shortcode_id=”126029″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”183545″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”17881″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”four-three” uncode_shortcode_id=”182093″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”199916″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”17883″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”four-three” uncode_shortcode_id=”200086″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”246769″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”171404″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_separator sep_color=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”114130″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”174578″]<\/p>\n About Interzero:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Interzero is one of the leading service providers around the closure of product, material and logistics loops as well as innovation leader in plastics recycling with the largest sorting capacity in Europe.
