Gunter A. Pauli Bücher

Gunter Pauli hat das Konzept des UpCycling entwickelt und es weltweit mit Firmen in die Praxis umgesetzt. Sein oberstes Gesetz ist: Kein Abfall! Vorbild für dieses vollintegrierte Biosystem ist die Natur. Jeder Stoff dient als Basis für eine neue Verwertungsstufe. Übertragen auf unsere Wirtschaft heißt das: Schluß mit der Verschwendung, Schluß mit der Vergeudung von wertvollen Rohstoffen und der Produktion von Giften. Schluß mit einem Recycling, das nur als kaschiertes Entsorgungssystem minderwertige Produkte liefert. Paulis Buch eröffnet Perspektiven für die Wirtschaft: Wir haben die Chance, die Produktivität zu steigern, in Wohlstand zu leben und unsere Welt als Lebensraum zu erhalten – mit einer intelligenten Wissenschaft, die nachhaltige, die Ressourcen schonende Produktionsweisen entwickelt.
