10 INNOVATION DRIVES CHANGE 3 BUSINESS CASES Textile Industry app. 60% of worldwide produced textiles are Cotton/Polyester blends. A «no go» in Cradle to Cradle. Innovation: biodegradable polymer derived from oil Wood Industry Wood treated with Chemicals is considered as hazardous waste. Innovation: glues and lacquers that are safe for biological systems Plastic Industry Reinforced plastics in recycling are downcycling. Innovation: creating conditions and technologies to maintain material quality for multiple cycles

14 CHANGE FROM A PASSIVE TO AN ACTIVE BUSINESS APPROACH BUSINESS CASE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY The Chemical Industry struggles with the REACH regulation. REACH makes industry responsible for assessing and managing the risks posed by chemicals and providing appropriate safety information to their users. In parallel, the European Union can take additional measures on highly dangerous substances, where there is a need for complementing action at EU level. Change towards an active approach with system integrated chemical solutions.

27 A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: CRADLE TO CRADLE IN BUILDINGS AND WITHIN FACILITY MANAGEMENT DNA OF A BUILDING (Raw Materials Bank, Value Agreement on Raw Materials) Inventory of all built in Raw Materials and Products Include Cyclability in planning Assure preservation of Raw Material Quality Modular Construction for a good Separability of Materials (Planning Building Use Rennovation Backbuilding) Presentation of the economic consideration and advantages for investors

28 REDESIGN FROM DOWNCYCLING TO UPCYCLING A paradigma change for electronic industry

29 EXPORT OF E-WASTE: ELECTRONIC GOODS AS TECHNICAL NUTRIENT e.g. Search Field SENS Switzerland E-Waste generated Worldwide in Mio Tons 13 % were Recycled The table from the report of the technical inspectorate SENS, SWICO Recycling, SLRS 2011 indicates the complexity of todays systems. 75% materials of electronics and electronic goods are reused. 50% matals, 25% plastics mostly themal recycled. However 25% of waste remains and offers potential. The Cradle to Cradle approach improves the quality of rawmaterials in the closed loop and has the goal to eliminate waste.
