It's not easy being green. Did you know that more than 20 eco-unfriendly processing steps go into a traditional pair of pre-washed jeans? During the last decade, many denim manufacturers have begun changing the environmental hazards of their processing by recycling their wastes and greening their production steps. With STN®, we will investigate some of the new green trends in denim manufacturing.

Energy
Climate protection is one of the key goals of the German Federal Government. This requires a sustainable, safe, and efficient supply of energy. An important factor in this process is the development of greenhouse gas reducing technologies.
A redirection of the energy mix for the future, considering all available sources of energy, can only be achieved by means of innovative technologies.
The development of new technologies for power generation, the design and construction of modern power supply grids, and solutions for energy-optimized building construction are more important now than ever before.
On behalf of the German Federal Government, FIZ Karlsruhe produces databases and information services for energy research and its practical application.
Energy research for practical applications Information from research laboratories, studies, pilot projects and practical tests
FIZ Energie Feeds, our free RSS feeds service, alerts you every two weeks about new entries on your topic of choice in the ETDWEB database.
For more than 20 years FIZ Karlsruhe has been providing information and services related to heat pump technology. It participates in projects and collaborates with numerous enterprises and institutions working in this sector.
