'''Verantwortliche Rohstoffgewinnung'''  
+
'''Responsible sourcing'''  
  
−
Nachhaltige und verantwortliche Rohstoffgewinnung sollte eine generelle Anforderung an alle verwendeten Rohstoffe und Materialien sein. Entsprechende Umweltzeichen und Nachweise haben sich bisher jedoch fast nur im Holzbereich entwickelt und etabliert. Hier sind klassischerweise die beiden globalen Forstzertifizierungssysteme FSC und PEFC bekannt. Andere Label fordern entsprechende Nachweise für Holz aus nachhaltiger Forstwirtschaft, allerdings in unterschiedlicher Ausprägung.
+
Sustainable and responsible raw material extraction should be a general requirement for all raw materials and materials used. However, corresponding environmental labels and certificates have so far developed and established themselves almost exclusively in the wood sector. Here, the two global forest certification systems FSC and PEFC are traditionally known. Other labels require corresponding proof for wood from sustainable forestry, albeit in different forms.

'''Nachhaltige Forstwirtschaft'''  
+
'''Sustainable forestry'''

Die weltweit agierenden Forstzertifizierungssysteme FSC und PEFC haben zwei verschiedene Standardtypen: (1) den Forst-Management Standard (FM) für die Art der Waldbewirtschaftung und (2) den COC-Standard, der sicherstellen soll, dass entlang der Verarbeitungskette nicht mehr Holzprodukte mit dem Forstlabel vermarktet werden, als dafür erforderlicher Rohstoff bezogen worden ist. Beide Systeme bieten dabei unterschiedliche Modelle innerhalb des COC-Standards an, einerseits das Modell der physischen Trennung von zertifiziertem und nicht zertifiziertem Material, andererseits Mengengewichtete Modelle wie die Prozentsatzmethode und das Credit Modell. Nur im Falle der physischen Trennung wäre eine physische Identität von Holz in einem zertifizierten Produkt mit Holz aus zertifizierten Wäldern gewährleistet. In der Praxis ist eine solche Garantie nicht (sehr selten) gegeben, weil bereits in den ersten Stufen der Verarbeitung überwiegend mengengewichtete Modelle eingesetzt werden.  
+
The globally operating forest certification systems FSC and PEFC have two different types of standards: (1) the Forest Management Standard (FM) for the type of forest management and (2) the COC standard, which is intended to ensure that no more wood products with the forest label are marketed along the processing chain than the number of raw materials required for this purpose. Both systems offer different models within the COC Standard, on the one hand the model of physical separation of certified and non-certified material, on the other hand quantity weighted models such as the percentage method and the credit model. Only in case of physical segregation would a physical identity of wood in a certified product with wood from certified forests be guaranteed. In practice, such a guarantee is not (very rarely) given because already in the first stages of processing, volume-weighted models are predominantly used.

|EPEA||Das Umweltlabel cradle to cradle (C2C) hat keine spezifischen Kriterien der Ressourcenschonung zum Inhalt. Allerdings entspricht das  Grundkonzept "Eliminierung von Abfall (theoretisch) der Schonung von Ressourcen. Das Kriterium der Materialwiederverwertung ist analog zum Prinzip des Recyclingpapiers beim Blauen Engel zu sehen. (Anmerkung: grundsätzlich ist man in der Praxis der Produktkreisläufe vom natürlichen Vorbild der geschlossenen Kreisläufe weit entfernt).

|EPEA||The environmental label cradle to cradle (C2C) does not contain any specific criteria for the conservation of resources. However, the basic concept "elimination of waste (in theory) corresponds to the conservation of resources. The criterion of material recycling is to be seen in analogy to the principle of recycled paper at the Blue Angel. (Note: in practice, product cycles are generally far removed from the natural model of closed cycles).

Klimafreundliche kurze Wege und die damit verbundenen Umweltwirkungen der gesamten Verarbeitungskette "cradle-to-gate" (A2) sowie vom Produktionsort zum Einsatz- oder Verwendungsort "gate-to-customer" (A4) werden durch das Umweltzeichen HOLZ VON HIER erfasst. Die Emissionen aus solchen Transportwegen können bei den heute internationalen Märkten auch für Holzprodukte leicht ein Vielfaches der Gesamtemissionen der Herstellung des Produktes erreichen. Das Umweltlabel Holz von Hier ist hier einzigartig, da es sämtliche Warenströme bis zum Endverwendungsort hin erfasst und bewertet. Der HvhUmweltfootprint erfasst für jedes produekt dabei in Echtzeit klassiche Umweltparameter (z.B. GWP, AP, EP u.a.). (B) Bauprodukte sind in der Nutzungsphase aus energetischer Sicht ‚inert‘, das heißt, in dieser Lebenszyklusphase entstehen keine produktbedingten Emissionen. (C/D) Klimaeffiziente Entsorgung oder Nachnutzung ist ganz wesentlich auch eine Frage des Materials. So hat z.B. PVC erheblich geringere Recyclingquoten als z.B. Altholz. Hier spielt aber auch die mit der Aufbereitung verbundenen Emissionen und Energieaufwendungen eine wichtige Rolle.  
+
Climate-friendly short distances and the associated environmental impact of the entire processing chain "cradle-to-gate" (A2) as well as from the production site to the place of use or application "gate-to-customer" (A4) are covered by the eco-label WOOD FROM HERE. In today's international markets, emissions from such transport routes can easily reach many times the total emissions from the manufacture of the product, even for wood products. The ecolabel HOLZ VON HIER is unique in this respect, as it records and evaluates all flows of goods right through to the end use location. The Hvh environmental footprint records classic environmental parameters (e.g. GWP, AP, EP, etc.) for each product in real time. (B) Construction products are 'inert' from an energy point of view in the use phase, i.e. no product-related emissions are produced in this life cycle phase. (C/D) Climate-efficient disposal or re-use is also essentially a question of materials. PVC, for example, has considerably lower recycling rates than waste wood, for example. However, the emissions and energy expenditure associated with processing also play an important role here.

'''Period of validity of the standards'''
  
−
Für die Beurteilung der Aussage von Umweltzeichen hinsichtlich der Umweltwirkung spielt auch die Gültigkeitsdauer von Standards eine Rolle. Produkte oder Unternehmen werden in der Regel für eine bestimmte Zeitspanne zertifiziert, d.h. das Zeichen kann an alle entsprechenden innerhalb der Zeitspanne hergestellten Produkte verliehen werden. Je länger diese Zeitspanne ist, desto weiter können die gesetzten Anforderungen hinter aktuellen technischen Entwicklungen hinterher hinken. Dies ist insbesondere bei Labeln zu Elektrogeräten zu beobachten.
+
The validity period of standards also plays a role in assessing the environmental impact of eco-labels. Products or companies are usually certified for a certain period of time, i.e. the label can be awarded to all corresponding products manufactured within this period. The longer this period of time, the further the requirements set may lag behind current technical developments. This can be observed especially with labels for electrical appliances.

Nicht jedes Label ist für alle Produktgruppen aus dem Bereich Bauen, Renovieren und Wohnen relevant. Die meisten Umweltzeichen haben hier einen Schwerpunkt. Wichtig ist dies vor allem dann zu beachten, wenn Umweltlabel grundsätzlich breit über unterschiedliche Produktgruppen aufgestellt sind, wie z.B. der Blauer Engel. Zudem gibt es teils Vergabekriterien für bestimmte Produktgruppen, ohne dass es bereits konkrete zertifizierte Produkte aus dem Bereich gibt. In der folgenden Tabelle wird ein Überblick über die betroffenen Produktgruppen gegeben sowie die Zahl der existierenden Produkte, sofern diese aus entsprechenden Webseiten ermittelbar waren.

Not every label is relevant for all product groups in the construction, renovation and housing sector. Most of the eco-labels have a focus here. This is particularly important if eco-labels are generally broadly based across different product groups, such as the Blue Angel. In addition, there are sometimes award criteria for certain product groups without there already being specific certified products in the area. The following table provides an overview of the product groups concerned and the number of existing products, insofar as these could be identified from the relevant websites.

The life cycle phase covered by the respective eco-label: A1 = extraction of raw materials, A2 = transport along the chain of custody, A3 = production, A4 = transport to the construction site, B = use phase, C = subsequent use.

Dark green areas = directly covered by criteria, light green areas = partially, restricted or indirectly covered. Dark blue = directly covered by criteria, light blue = indirect effects or restricted effects.


Responsible sourcing

Sustainable and responsible raw material extraction should be a general requirement for all raw materials and materials used. However, corresponding environmental labels and certificates have so far developed and established themselves almost exclusively in the wood sector. Here, the two global forest certification systems FSC and PEFC are traditionally known. Other labels require corresponding proof for wood from sustainable forestry, albeit in different forms.

Sustainable forestry

The globally operating forest certification systems FSC and PEFC have two different types of standards: (1) the Forest Management Standard (FM) for the type of forest management and (2) the COC standard, which is intended to ensure that no more wood products with the forest label are marketed along the processing chain than the number of raw materials required for this purpose. Both systems offer different models within the COC Standard, on the one hand the model of physical separation of certified and non-certified material, on the other hand quantity weighted models such as the percentage method and the credit model. Only in case of physical segregation would a physical identity of wood in a certified product with wood from certified forests be guaranteed. In practice, such a guarantee is not (very rarely) given because already in the first stages of processing, volume-weighted models are predominantly used.


Label Wood from sustainable forestry
Blauer Engel 50% of the wood should come from sustainable forest management, the rest from legal sources according to the EUTR.
EPEA Cradle-To-Cradle wood "from sustainable management" is required, whereby the type of proof and the percentage could not be determined from the label website.
EU ecolabel (1) 70% share from sustainable sources for solid wood, (2) 40% for wood-based materials
FSC the proportion varies from any proportion in FSC mix and FSC controlled wood up to 100% in FSC pure
HOLZ VON HIER 100% Quantity of wood used in certified products must come from sustainable forestry, proven by an FM certificate from FSC, PEFC or equivalent.
NaturePlus Proof of the origin of the wood from sustainable forestry is required, the proportion is (unclear but) probably 100%.
Nordic Swan Proportions vary between >10%, >50% up to >70% depending on the product standard.
Ö-UZ 70% minimum share for wood energy, 50% for solid wood, floors, furniture, exterior wood. No information for insulation materials.
PEFC the minimum percentage of the total quantity processed is specified in the PEFC standard, the material must come from PEFC certified forests


Resource saving

The responsible use of resources is more important today than ever. We Europeans consume about twice as many resources as we have. The only resources that are renewable on a large scale in Europe are wood and straw.


Label aspect of resource conservation
Blauer Engel Of the 113 Blue Angel standards, 20 relate to the protection of resources, none in the area of construction and renovation and only 5 of 20 with paper products. Here the claim "Conserve resources" means the use of waste paper or recycled paper. Other resource aspects are not the focus of the "Blue Angel - Saving Resources".
EPEA The environmental label cradle to cradle (C2C) does not contain any specific criteria for the conservation of resources. However, the basic concept "elimination of waste (in theory) corresponds to the conservation of resources. The criterion of material recycling is to be seen in analogy to the principle of recycled paper at the Blue Angel. (Note: in practice, product cycles are generally far removed from the natural model of closed cycles).
EU ecolabel The EU Ecolabel has not developed any direct criteria for resource protection and is reduced to the sustainable extraction of wood and low energy consumption in production. The energy consumption in production is usually calculated.
FSC The central message of the FSC eco-label is the sustainable management of the forest to obtain the raw material wood. In addition to various social and environmental requirements, the focus of FSC is therefore on the conservation of wood as a resource by means of management that is intended to ensure its use for future generations.
HOLZ VON HIER HOLZ VON HIER is characterized by renewable raw materials from sustainably managed forests. The transports in the processing chain and to the customer are above average short and therefore also save resources.
NaturePlus NaturePlus demands a "preferably high" proportion of renewable raw materials in the product and a minimisation of energy consumption.
Nordic Swan The Nordic Swan addresses resource conservation rather indirectly. In general, at least 50% of the materials should be renewable and, in the case of wood, at least 30% should come from sustainably managed forests. Energy consumption in production must not exceed a certain value and high-calorific production waste should be returned to the energy cycle.
Ö-UZ The Austrian Ecolabel has not defined any specific criteria for the conservation of resources. The award criteria for furniture are defined as regulations for raw materials, which primarily concern the avoidance of ingredients that are hazardous to health, as well as environmentally friendly production, durability and waste reduction, and packaging aspects.
PEFC The central message of the PEFC eco-label is the sustainable management of the forest for the extraction of the raw material wood. In addition to various requirements, the focus is on the conservation of wood as a resource by means of a management system that is intended to safeguard this use for future generations.


climate protection

There are different starting points for climate protection measures in the life cycle phases, either in the upstream production chains (LC Phase A1,A2, A3, A4) or in the use phase (B) of the product.

Climate-friendly short distances and the associated environmental impact of the entire processing chain "cradle-to-gate" (A2) as well as from the production site to the place of use or application "gate-to-customer" (A4) are covered by the eco-label WOOD FROM HERE. In today's international markets, emissions from such transport routes can easily reach many times the total emissions from the manufacture of the product, even for wood products. The ecolabel HOLZ VON HIER is unique in this respect, as it records and evaluates all flows of goods right through to the end use location. The Hvh environmental footprint records classic environmental parameters (e.g. GWP, AP, EP, etc.) for each product in real time. (B) Construction products are 'inert' from an energy point of view in the use phase, i.e. no product-related emissions are produced in this life cycle phase. (C/D) Climate-efficient disposal or re-use is also essentially a question of materials. PVC, for example, has considerably lower recycling rates than waste wood, for example. However, the emissions and energy expenditure associated with processing also play an important role here.

Biodiversity

The IUCN international Red List classifies species as endangered and includes, for example, considerably more tree species than the CITES Convention.

"By promoting the demand for a wide range of timber species from regional indigenous forestry, incentives are created for local farmers to preserve and promote the diversity of tree species in their forests, which in turn forms the basis for a high diversity of accompanying animal and plant species" (HVH).

In its transfer of information, HOLZ VON HIER shows that global transport has a significant impact on the risk of biodiversity loss. Depending on its origin, more species are endangered by transport than by the extraction of the raw material itself. By minimizing the transports, especially over long distances and from other countries or continents, HOLZ VON HIER contributes to the protection of biodiversity.

Period of validity of the standards

The validity period of standards also plays a role in assessing the environmental impact of eco-labels. Products or companies are usually certified for a certain period of time, i.e. the label can be awarded to all corresponding products manufactured within this period. The longer this period of time, the further the requirements set may lag behind current technical developments. This can be observed especially with labels for electrical appliances.

Product group relevance

Not every label is relevant for all product groups in the construction, renovation and housing sector. Most of the eco-labels have a focus here. This is particularly important if eco-labels are generally broadly based across different product groups, such as the Blue Angel. In addition, there are sometimes award criteria for certain product groups without there already being specific certified products in the area. The following table provides an overview of the product groups concerned and the number of existing products, insofar as these could be identified from the relevant websites.
