Sustainability Forum with Sustainability Experts
Forum participants concerned themselves with the topics of retirement planning, generational change, data protection, developmental aid, education, and waste management legislation. When the current refugee movement was brought into the sustainability discussion, it became clear that "sustainability" is a complex term, which, Ms. Klöckner said in opening remarks, "cannot be replaced by a synonym." The CDU Deputy Chief added, "But there are good examples that show how it's done. The Frosch is a successful forerunner for sustainability in our country." She expressed her thanks for the hospitality shown at Werner & Mertz, to which Schneider responded, "I am delighted that the subject of sustainability has become mainstream. He suggested that the overall contribution to sustainability can be maximized only when sustainability is made real to the public and pointed to the Frosch Recyclate Initiative as an example. "Resource efficiency does not necessarily mean more effort or expense for a business," he said. "Our medium-sized company – with the right cooperation partners and a certain degree of persistence – has initiated something that has a sustainable effect." Schneider said he was pleased by the success of rPET recycling of packaging materials from the Yellow Bag. "When word gets around, that's a sign of hope for SMEs."
