Möve II - Quality monitoring of the recommended measures towards reduction of the purchased food ingredients amounts without affecting the service quality

Project goal

Analyses the implementation of the measures recommended in the previous project MÖVE, by investigating the currently resulting swill amounts. To this effect, an audit was performed, with the outcome assessed, at the Hietzing Hospital. The conclusions address the necessary need for action in terms of the measures suggested in the foregoing project MÖVE.

 

SUKI - Options for canteen kitchens towards reducing their CO2 emissions

Projekt SUKI Eissalat

Project goal

The project identifies the CO2 emissions of canteen kitchens and analyses the direct and indirect possibilities for the latter to influence their CO2 emissions, in terms of both options and limits. Conscious selection of the meals to be prepared and of the ingredients enables a first step towards sustainable development and healthy nutri-tion, in parallel with contributing to the global CO2 emission reduction and to the regional organic farming.

BRM 08 - Analysis of the construction waste and excavated soil massflows in Styria

Project goal

Identification of the massflows of construction waste and excavated soil currently generated in the province of Styria, and analysis of the options for their environmen-tally-friendly disposal. From the results of this analysis, measures are derived, which would ensure an efficient and sustainable management of the construction waste.

AVERA – Prevention of packaging waste for selected consumption goods

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.

 

ÖNORM – SFA AWS – Applied Material Flow Analysis in the Waste Management. Ö-NORM

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.

 

V-EnBa – Development of a method for material flows balancing of buildings

Project goal

The goal is to develop a method that allows for the mass- and substance-related balancing of construction waste. The method serves the assessment of the construction waste of 10 multi-storeyed buildings in Austria, and also as a base for the assessment of the environmental compatibility and the resource potential of construction waste by means of selected material and substance balances.

 

FORWAST

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.

ProZukunft - Wood Products from Tomorrow Are Resources and Fuel from the Day after Tomorrow

ProZukunft.jpg

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.
