In our most recent projects, we have focussed on hazardous substances in the circular economy, particularly in plastics, and their contribution to a sustainable circular economy.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 16px; width: 16px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title a{font-size:28px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #212934;border-color: #212934;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title a:hover, #accordion-1726-1 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #f05b22;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-1 .panel-title a:hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #f05b22!important;border-color: #f05b22!important;}<\/style><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\"><div class=\"panel-group\" id=\"accordion-1726-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"750501bbc28573e43\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-1726-1\" data-target=\"#750501bbc28573e43\" href=\"#750501bbc28573e43\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Studies and projects<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"750501bbc28573e43\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>2025-2026<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><b>Europe after 2030 \u2013 The development of waste management into an industrial location factor.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lahl, U., Zeschmar-Lahl, B., B\u00f6rger, L., Carus, M., vom Berg, C., 2026: Recycling Becomes Feedstock for Europe \u2013 Let\u2019s Dare More Autonomy. <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52548\/LFPX3960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52548\/LFPX3960<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Lahl U., Gosten A., Kummer B., Quicker P., Zeschmar-Lahl, B.

On the one hand, as a consumer of raw materials and energy, it is a major emitter and thus a cause of problems; on the other hand, &#8220;chemistry is sustainable if it makes a lasting contribution to sustainable development. A more precise definition of sustainable chemistry is not possible, because chemistry and its products are so diverse that there is always one specific aspect that is not hit, not hit correctly or not hit completely. Sustainable chemistry is both a path and a goal. It is not a new sub-discipline of chemistry, but a guiding principle that provides orientation. &#8230; Sustainable chemistry is based on the function required in each case. It requires knowledge of chemistry as a whole, goes far beyond the operational value chains and takes into account all those involved and affected along the life cycle of chemical products and their interaction. With this expanded view, the service concept (&#8220;chemistry for what and for whom&#8221;) comes to the fore as the basis of value creation &#8230; Sustainable chemistry opens up new business areas and offers manufacturers many advantages, e.g., when chemical leasing, services or digitization do not require production expansion or reduce the need for and thus dependence on raw materials&#8230;.&#8221;(<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/ange.201709949\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prof. Klaus K\u00fcmmerer, 2017<\/a>, translation by BZL GmbH).<\/p>\n<p>BZL GmbH has been working on numerous aspects of (sustainable) chemistry for years, from chemical policy to international chemicals management and resource efficiency in the chemical industry. In our recent projects we have dealt with Sound Management of Chemicals and Waste (SMCW) and the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management = SAICM, with the interfaces between chemicals, product and waste legislation, with green or sustainable chemistry or with hazardous substances in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bzl-gmbh.de\/en\/services\/#circular-economy-and-raw-materials\">\u201eCircular Economy\u201c<\/a>. In 2017 and 2018, BZL GmbH was involved in the preparation and implementation of two national preparatory workshops (= technical discussions) of the Federal Environment Agency on Emerging Policy Issues (EPI) in the context of SAICM (Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management).<\/p>\n<p>The project &#8220;Beyond 2020: Sustainable Chemistry as orientation and pace maker for Sound Management of Chemicals and Waste (SMCW)&#8221;, commissioned by the German Federal Environment Agency, aimed to develop indicators to measure progress towards sustainable chemistry and sustainability-oriented chemicals management. These indicators are intended to enable verification of progress towards the targets currently being developed and discussed as part of the SAICM and SMCW post-2020 intersessional process.<\/p>\n<p>Since early 2025, BZL GmbH has been working as part of a consortium on a project that will promote sustainable chemistry as part of the global transformation in line with the UN Agenda 2030. The research project \u201cRoadmap to 2030\u201d (client: Federal Environment Agency, FKZ: 3724 65 701 0) aims to identify and prepare possible contributions by Germany to the implementation of the GFC.

The SDGs explicitly call on all companies to use their creativity and innovation potential to meet the challenges of sustainable development. The expectations of many investors have also changed significantly: they no longer measure the success and performance of companies not only by EBITDA and shareholder value, but also increasingly by the so-called ESG criteria (environment, social and governance). Investors are also increasingly paying attention to how well companies are prepared for new requirements such as the transition to a low carbon economy, opportunities such as urbanisation or digitalisation, but also risks such as climate change or human rights problems in the supply chain. In the meantime, credit rating agencies and funds even assess companies according to their long-term value to society \u2013 e.g. what contribution they make to the achievement of individual SDGs. A corresponding rating is again attractive for companies, because they can benefit from more favourable financing conditions, for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sources of information for investors and financial institutions, but also for civil society organisations, for example, are ratings, inclusion in appropriate funds and sustainability reports prepared in accordance with international standards. In the EU, the &#8220;CSR Directive&#8221; (Directive 2014\/95\/EU with regard to the disclosure of non-financial and diversity-related information) has also made to date purely voluntary reporting on ESG issues mandatory for large, listed companies. For many years, many companies that are aware of their social responsibility have already reported on these topics in their own sustainability reports or integrated annual reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For almost 25 years, BZL GmbH has been advising and supporting companies in setting up their sustainability management and in preparing their sustainability reports.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 16px; width: 16px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title a{font-size:28px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #212934;border-color: #212934;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title a:hover, #accordion-1726-5 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #f05b22;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian  #accordion-1726-5 .panel-title a:hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #f05b22!important;border-color: #f05b22!important;}<\/style><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\"><div class=\"panel-group\" id=\"accordion-1726-5\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"6beb3a5d9edfd50df\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-1726-5\" data-target=\"#6beb3a5d9edfd50df\" href=\"#6beb3a5d9edfd50df\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Projects<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"6beb3a5d9edfd50df\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Wien Holding AG (since\u00a0 2020)<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">BZL GmbH advises Wien Holding AG on the development of its sustainability management.
