Responsible Production of Materials in the light of Sustainable Development Goal 12: Development of a systemic assessment scheme for an environmentally responsible material production cycle – Case study aluminium

Feiel, Susanne 02 February 2022 (has links)
Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, systematisch Möglichkeiten zur gezielten und qualitativen Entkopplung von Umweltauswirkungen im Rahmen der Verantwortungsaussage des SDG 12 in Bezug auf einzelne Stoffströme zu identifizieren. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein Schema zur Bewertung der Verantwortung erstellt, das sich auf die Systemgrenzen der Umwelt und die systemischen Produktionsströme einzelner Materialien konzentriert. Einzelne generische Prozesseinheiten wurden identifiziert und Umweltindikatoren, die Planetary Boundaries, ausgewählt. Das entwickelte Schema wurde dann in einer Fallstudie mit dem Beispielmaterial Aluminium auf seine Funktionalität getestet, indem das Material mit den Umweltindikatoren in jeder Prozesseinheit seiner spezifischen Produktionsroute kalibriert wurde. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die entwickelte Bewertung in der Tat eine systematische Identifizierung des Entkopplungsraums innerhalb eines Materialflusses ermöglicht und somit als funktional und übertragbar auf andere Materialflüsse und andere Dimensionen wie die soziale oder wirtschaftliche sowie die Verbrauchsdimension angesehen werden kann.:1 Introduction 2 Context of the Thesis 3 Sustainable Development Theories - The Road to Sustainable Industrial Development 4 Objectives and Structure of the Thesis 5 Development of a Responsibility Assessment Scheme 7 Aluminium as Key Material in our Society 8 The Aluminium Production System 9 Assessment Instructions 10 Case study – Aluminium Life Cycle and Planetary Boundary Matrix Calibration 11 Evaluation, Discussion of Results and Conclusion 12 Bibliography / This thesis aimed to systematically identify opportunities for targeted and qualitative environmental impact decoupling within the responsibility proposition of SDG 12 in relation to single material flows. To do this a responsibility assessment scheme was created that focused on the system boundaries environment and systemic production flows of single materials. Individual generic unit processes were identified and environmental indicators, the Planetary Boundaries, were chosen. The scheme designed was then tested in a case study for its functionality with the example material Aluminium, through calibrating the material with the environmental indicators in each unit process of its specific production route. This showed that the assessment designed indeed allowed for systematic identification of decoupling space within a material flow and can thus be considered as functional and transferrable to other material flows and other dimensions like the social or economic, as well as the consumption dimension.:1 Introduction 2 Context of the Thesis 3 Sustainable Development Theories - The Road to Sustainable Industrial Development 4 Objectives and Structure of the Thesis 5 Development of a Responsibility Assessment Scheme 7 Aluminium as Key Material in our Society 8 The Aluminium Production System 9 Assessment Instructions 10 Case study – Aluminium Life Cycle and Planetary Boundary Matrix Calibration 11 Evaluation, Discussion of Results and Conclusion 12 Bibliography
