In 2022 alone, this study showed that\u00a02.1 million tonnes of resources were handled by closed-loop systems\u00a0<\/strong>run by Interzero\u2019s companies such as Interzero in Germany, Austria, Poland; Italy and Slovenia, saving around\u00a08.7 million tonnes of primary raw materials<\/strong>. This is comparable to the\u00a0weight of 174,267 single-family homes<\/strong>. The companies also saved\u00a0around 1 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 this corresponds to the\u00a0average annual<\/strong>CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions of over 100,000 four-person households<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”10220″ media_width_percent=”100″ media_ratio=”three-two” uncode_shortcode_id=”564918″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”807461″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image media=”10222″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”183634″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”178222″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”193879″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”168879″]Reducing transportation,\u00a0reusing IT devices<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”341661″]<\/p>\n In another study from the \u201cresources SAVED\u201d series, Fraunhofer UMSICHT looked at the positive impact on resources and the climate from the\u00a0refurbishing and reuse of IT and communications devices<\/a>, as organised by Interzero. As one example, using refurbishment to extend the service life of just one laptop saves around 181 kg of primary raw materials and 154 kg of greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n Interzero\u2019s Mobile Counting Centre (MCC) also helps save resources. The local availability of the mobile counting service for non-refillable bottles means companies avoid long trips to stationary counting centres. \u201cresources SAVED\u201d shows that the MCC\u2019s annual CO2<\/sub>\u00a0savings equal the amount removed by around three wooded football pitches.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”3″ back_color=”color-263416″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”198210″ back_color_type=”uncode-palette”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”dark” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”144568″][vc_single_image media=”3461″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” shape=”img-round” uncode_shortcode_id=”448390″ media_width_pixel=”100″][vc_column_text text_color=”color-xsdn” uncode_shortcode_id=”373790″ text_color_type=”uncode-palette”]<\/p>\n Dr.-Ing.
