Abstract: Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have relevant positive and negative impacts on environmental sustainability on various levels: First-order effects such as increasing electronic waste streams; second-order effects such as improved energy-efficiency of production; third-order effects such as a product-to-service shift in consumption or rebound effects in transport. In the simulation study described in this article, all known relevant effects on all three levels were modeled using a System Dynamics approach in combination with scenario techniques and expert consultations. The prospective study for the European Union with a time-horizon until 2020 revealed great potential for ICT-supported energy management and for a structural change towards a less material-intensive economy, but strong rebound effects in the transport sector whenever ICT applications lead to time or cost savings for transport.
Abstract: Vor dem Hintergrund der rasant zunehmenden Verbreitung von Anwendungen der Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) untersucht das Forschungsprojekt mögliche zukünftige Auswirkungen eines massenhaften Einsatzes von RFID-Tags im Konsumgüterbereich auf die Umwelt und die Abfallentsorgung. Der gegenwärtige Einsatz von RFID-Tags stellt die derzeitigen Entsorgungssysteme für Siedlungsabfall zwar vor keine nennenswerten Herausforderungen. Die dynamische Entwicklung der RFID-Märkte kann aber die Entsorgungssysteme in Zukunft vor Probleme stellen, wenn nicht vorsorgend gehandelt wird. Neben der Ermittlung der aktuellen und zukünftig zu erwartenden Mengen eingesetzter RFID-Tags, der Beschreibung derzeitiger Entsorgungswege für RFID-Tags im Siedlungsabfall sowie der Erstellung und Quantifizierung von Zukunftsszenarien zielt das Projekt darauf, Handlungsempfehlungen für einen umweltverträglich optimierten Einsatz von RFID-Tags in Deutschland abzuleiten. Mit diesem Bericht liegt erstmalig eine systematische quantitative Darstellung des zukünftigen Einflusses von RFID-Tags auf die Abfallentsorgung unter enger Einbeziehung der betroffenen Akteure vor. Der Untersuchungsrahmen erstreckt sich auf die Entsorgungssysteme für Siedlungsabfall in Deutschland mit einem Zeithorizont bis 2022. Das Vorhaben fokussiert auf den Eintrag passiver RFID-Tags in den Siedlungsabfall, die insbesondere auf Konsumgüter und deren Verpackungen angebracht sind. Die Eintragspfade Glas-, Papier/Pappe/Karton- und Leichtverpackungs-Getrenntsammlung sowie die Restabfallbehandlung, einschlieÃlich des Eintrags von RFID-Tags in Ersatzbrennstoffe (EBS) und Sekundärbaustoffe werden umfassend analysiert. Bioabfall wird im Rahmen eines Exkurses diskutiert. Das Forschungsprojekt adressiert potenzielle Risiken von RFID-Tags in der Siedlungsabfallentsorgung. Mögliche Chancen zur Verbesserung des Recyclings durch den Einsatz von RFID-Tags, z.B. bei elektrischen und elektronischen Geräten, werden nicht behandelt.

Abstract: The objectives of Task 4 âRefinement and Quantificationâ of the study on the future impact of ICT on environmental sustainability are as follows: (i) to refine and quantify the scenarios developed in Task 3 by creating a simulation model of the impact of ICT on environmental sustainability, (ii) to estimate the model parameters based on the data collected in Task 2, on additional literature reviews and expert consultation, (iii) to provide input into Task 5 âEvaluation and Recommendationsâ by identifying the factors that have most influence on the environmental indicators.
