Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die Kreislaufwirtschaft zielt unter anderem darauf ab, Abfall als Rohstoff für neue Produkte zu nutzen. Bei Ökobilanzen von Produkten stellt sich diesbezüglich die Frage, wie sich im offenen Kreislauf rezyklierter oder thermisch verwerteter Abfall bewerten lässt. Für die Bewertung von Produktsystemen sind zwei Allokationsmethoden üblich: Die Cut-Off Methode, welche den Einsatz von Recyclingmaterialien begünstigt und die Avoided Burden Methode, welche die Abgabe von recyclingfähigem Material begünstigt. Wir diskutieren diese beiden Methoden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung zur Bewertung einer Kreislaufwirtschaft, gemessen an der europäischen Abfallhierarchie. Als Fallbeispiel dienen verschiedene End-of-Life-Szenarien für Glas und den Kunststoff Polypropylen, die wir mit Hilfe der Umweltindikatoren Material Footprint und Carbon Footprint bewertet haben. Als Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Anwendung von Avoided Burden im Fall einer thermischen Verwertung in einer Müllverbrennungsanlage problematisch ist. Zum einen ergibt sich in diesem Fall ein negativer Material Footprint, falls dadurch ein Steinkohlekraftwerk substituiert wird, zum anderen wird die Abfallhierarchie teilweise übergangen, da die thermische Verwertung günstiger erscheint als Recycling. Des Weiteren wurde herausgestellt, dass die oberste Priorität in der Abfallhierarchie, die Vermeidung, durch den Cut-Off Ansatz höher begünstigt wird, als durch die Avoided Burden Methode.
