New services: greening businesses New processes: cleaner production New materials New products
What is eco-innovation?
« All forms of innovation reducing environmental impacts and/or optimising the use of resources »
Good for business, good for the environment

IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Eco-Industries in EU
Turnover €319 billion (8% annual growth)
= 2.5% of GDP = 3.4 M jobs
EU strong player
~ 30% of world turnover Leading global position in
recycling (50%), renewable energy (40%)
Eco-innovation in the EU – Opportunities* and challenges
Greenhouse Gas emissionsenergy and non-energy related CO2 emissions on unsustainable path
Metals and Minerals consumption 35-40% growth in 10 years
Plastic materials~ 50% still goes to landfill (12Mill. tonnes yearly)
Waste volumesmunicipal waste expected to grow by 25% from 2005 -2020
* 2008 data

IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
How does it work?
Risk sharing for green ideas (50% per project)
Market orientation
Bridging the gap between RTD and commercialisation.
Direct funding (no intermediaries)
Good for business, good for the environment

IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
How does it work? Life cycle thinking
SME focus
Flexible - no partnerships required but EU added value important
Leverage-market replication crucial
Good for business, good for the environment

IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Materials recycling
Areas of work:
Rationalising the use of resources by improving processes to prevent waste
Improving the sorting of waste in order to raise its quality to the same level as the quality of virgin raw materials
Imagining new applications for ultimate waste and by- or side-products
10
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Food & Drink Sector
The number one manufacturing industry in the EU with more than 99% of SMEs
Contributes to some 23% of global resources, 18% of GHG emissions and 31% of acidifying emissions
Challenge to improve environmental performance of products and their uptake by consumers
Areas of work:
Industrial waste water treatment
New Fertilizers and other by-products such as polyphenols
Food packaging and labelling
11
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Building Sector
Very high raw material and energy consumption. Heating and lightening account for around 42% of energy use and some 35% of GHG emissions
16t of materials are used annually per person per year in EU. 6t of waste are generated, of which 1/3 from construction and demolition activities
Areas of work:
Sustainable materials with higher resources efficiency in construction, use and end-of-life of buildings
Thermal insulation materials using recycled waste Efficient use of water
12
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
More open priority for transversal ideas from the market
Current areas of work:
New products (e.g. bio-plastics) New production processes (e.g. ceramic or leather industry) Greening services (e.g. in tourism, printing, production of
electronic and electrical equipment)
Green Business Sector
.
13
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
CAPS: Conversion of paper waste into
oil spills absorbent material
An innovative way of reusing waste into
a product
Setting up two new production plants
(Slovenia and Finland)
Example on on-going projects: materials recycling
14
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Recovery of non-ferrous metals (NF)
Nickel is one of the elements recovered. Important for the rechargeable batteries.
A plant is built in Germany to implement a range of different sensor-based technologies
Further replications, UK
Improving metal sorting – Quality recycling (SATURN)
15
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Example from the building sector
INSULA TFH: pre-insulated wall panels Low cost process to produce timber
frame panels with cellulose fiber insulation
Material used: recycled waste paper and wood from the region
Reduced transport, packaging and landfill
IRE, DE, BE
16
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Example from the food & drink sector
Briter-Water project: Bamboo farming to clean grey water from juice and dairy production
Lower investment and operation costs, no sludge
Better water quality and carbon capture gains
France, UK, Portugal and Germany
17
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Example from the green business sector.
ECOTPU: New bio-plastic for sports shoes coming from sugar beets
Production line will be set up and started
Involvement of footware and chemical industry from ES and IT
18
IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Example EuroC2C Carpetchains
. Close loop manufacturing system Collection and recycling of 4% of
European carpet waste from offices and public buildings
Increase to 8% after the project Resource efficiency benefits by
reducing the use of virgin materials Reduced energy consumption NL, FR, DE, UK + BE, LU

IMAGINE workshop 27 April 2011
Eco-I versus IEE First application of solution and
market uptake Integrated approach covering
various environmental aspects (resource efficiency including water, energy and raw materials…)
Life-cycle approach Explicit SME and private sector
focus Market uptake important
Promotion & dissemination of well-proven intelligent energy solutions
Energy focus: energy efficiency & renewable energy sources, including transport
Stimulates action through better market conditions & admin. procedures, training, awareness raising, policy analysis etc
No investment project, no RTD Impact and contribution to 2020 EU
energy targets important

Eco-I versus LIFE +
Priority on private sector, businesses
CIP umbrella Market competitiveness and
market uptake Replication is crucial Integrated environmental
impacts (e.g. water only one ascpect)
Mainly public sector Policy development and
Implementation of legislation Dissemination, awareness
raising, capacity building Land-use, urban planning and
water management Environmental solutions but
market uptake is not vital
