It becomes clear that sustainability requires a holistic view of the cybernetic model of sector coupling:
Energy and resource independence requires the joint consideration of energy and material cycles. We combine combined heat, power and cooling with mobility, but also with the use of raw materials and resources in production.
The EU Commission's new Circular Economy Action Plan calls for products of the future to be more durable, robust, repairable and recyclable. The aim is to put a stop to waste and the throwaway mentality. Repairing instead of disposing is finally being rediscovered and will lead to significantly more resource independence.
