Descrizione:

Resource efficiency means to use the Earth's limited resources in a sustainable manner while minimising impacts on the environment. The European Union must use natural resources in a more convincing manner and the answers must go beyond existing policy actions. The situation within the central Europe area is even more alarming, since productivity in most of the countries joining the EU after 2004 has remained static or even decreased. Two major barriers for exploiting the potential for resource efficiency in products and production processes can be identified. First, enterprises and especially SMEs are not aware of their resource utilization, real costs of pollution and the related (cost) reduction potential as well as ways on how to improve the situation. Secondly, SMEs have problems in financing necessary investments in eco-innovations in order to exploit their potential to increase resource efficiency. The potential for increased resource efficiency, especially targeted at SMEs, will be in the focus of the project PRESOURCE. It aims at increasing resource efficiency in the production sector of central Europe by promoting transnational incentives for eco-innovations. The PRESOURCE project connects eight partners from six countries, representing public and private institutions from environmental, innovation and research sectors. They aim to promote a more responsible use of natural resources and to implement actions leading to increased resource productivity in central Europe. The project will specifically tackle the potential of SMEs representing the production and manufacturing sector in the fields of agriculture, construction or transportation. The project will look for incentives and innovative financing schemes, improving the framework for financing eco-innovations with a particular focus on resource efficiency-related investments. Moreover, the project intends to issue recommendations and establish a stakeholder dialogue with the aim to respond to the EU2020 Resource Efficiency Flagship Initiative and the related EU Roadmap.
