What is Resource Efficiency
In the industrial context, resources are designated as a means for producing goods and services.
Resources can be divided into technical/economic resources (personnel, operating equipment, capital, knowledge) and into natural resources, such as energy, water and raw material.
Resource efficiency means the efficient utilization of these technical/economic and natural resources. It also entails the continuous application of preventive environmental strategies to processes, products and services to increase efficiency and reduce risks to communities and the environment.

Why Resource Efficiency
La eficiencia en los recursos es un componente crítico de una lista de Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas (ODS), incluyendo:
- Garantizar el acceso a una energía asequible, fiable, sostenible y moderna para todos
- Construir infraestructura flexible, promover la industrialización inclusiva y sostenible y fomentar la innovación
- Garantizar los patrones de consumo y producción sostenibles
- Tomar medidas urgentes para combatir el cambio climático y sus impactos
The shift towards material use reduction is under way, but there is room for further development. By implementing resource efficiency services, industries can reduce the material, energy and pollution intensity per unit of industrial output, thereby reducing the global ecological footprint while simultaneously improving productivity and competitiveness.
