About the VDI Centre for Resource Efficiency (VDI ZRE)
The VDI Centre for Resource Efficiency (VDI ZRE) is closely involved in the VDI Association of German Engineers. With more than 150,000 members, the largest association of engineers in Germany pools experts for interdisciplinary dialogue and propagates knowledge of current developments in science and research, economy, society and politics. The VDI ZRE strongly cooperates with the professional associations and regional organizations of the VDI, which connect the Centre to the network of over 12,000 voluntarily active members of the VDI.
As a Competence Centre for resource efficiency, the VDI ZRE works at the interface between business and science and pools know-how from theory and practice. The VDI ZRE was launched in 2009 as a cooperative project of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) and the VDI.
