Dans 2022, Germany imported almost 80 millions de tonnes de m\u00e9taux \u2013 environ 90 par cent of which were primary raw materials. One problem with this is that Germany\u2019s consumption of raw materials is significantly higher than a globally equitable level. In addition, Germany is heavily conduit on imports. These dependencies have repeatedly become visible and tangible in the course of the crises of recent years: Wars, pandemics or floods have disrupted supply chains and brought production lines to a standstill.<\/p>\n

Reducing the demand for primary raw materials can counteract these supply bottlenecks. However, the climate crisis and numerous ecological and social issues along metal supply chains also show that urgent action is required and that the consumption of metallic raw materials must decrease.<\/p>\n

In our brochure \u00abReducing metal consumption: practical propositions for the raw materials transition\u00bb, we examined the reduction potential for copper, aluminium, iron and nickel in Germany. Together, these four base metals account for 94 per cent of Germany\u2019s consumption of metallic raw materials. Measures that reduce the demand for these metals can therefore also be particularly effective in curbing the n\u00e9gative environmental impacts and social consequences in metal supply chains.<\/p>\n

The brochure is based on the study \u201cUtilisation and reduction potentials of metals in Germany and the EU\u201d, which was carried out by the ifeu Institute on behalf of PowerShift. The study calculated \u00e9normeous savings potential, particularly in the transport sector, the construction industry and in the recycling of metals. For example, reducing the size, weight and number of newly registered cars is an important lever that could save almost 37 millions de tonnes of the four metals examin\u00e9d by 2050.<\/p>\n

Although the German government has committed to reducing primary raw material consumption, it has not yet taken the necessary steps. This brochure addresses this issue and calls on the various federal ministries to take concrete measures.<\/p>\n
