Abstract
The book contains the summarised results from the large-scale project "Material Efficiency and Resource Conservation" (MaRess). This is the most comprehensive German project to date on the topic of "Material and Resource Efficiency", carried out with 30 project partners on behalf of the UBA/BMU. In autumn 2011, the German government plans to adopt a resource policy programme for which MaRess has carried out the scientific groundwork.
