anthropogene Stofflager

Dieser Klassifikation der natürlichen Ressourcen hat der Rat von Sachverständigen für Umweltfragen (SRU) eine weitere Kategorie von Ressourcen gegenübergestellt, die er als„anthropogene Ressourcen“ bezeichnet. Der Begriff umfasst die Gesamtheit der akkumulierten Materialien, die sich im Bestand der derzeit genutzten Güter (Infrastruktur, Bauwerke, Maschinen, Gebrauchsgüter etc.) oder in deponierten Abfällen befinden und die mit heutigen
Technologien (wieder)verwertbar sind. Das anthropogene Stofflager wird umso bedeutsamer, je begrenzter die Reichweite der natürlichen Rohstoffe ist. So ist z.B. nach Schätzungen
die Menge an Kupfer, die in den Industrieländern in anthropogenen Artefakten gespeichert ist (ca. 230-460 Mio.t), in etwa vergleichbar mit den derzeit geschätzten weltweiten Reserven (SRU 2005, 5).

anthropogenic material stocks


Explanation:
Stocks of products in use are the pivotal engines that drive anthropogenic metal cycles: They support the lives of people by providing services to them; they are sources for future secondary resources (scrap); and demand for in-use stocks generates demand for metals. Despite their great importance and their impacts on other parts of the metal cycles and the environment, the study of in-use stocks has heretofore been widely neglected. Here we investigate anthropogenic and geogenic iron stocks in the United States (U.S.) by analyzing the iron cycle over the period 1900–2004
