POTENTIALS AND TRENDS IN BIOMIMETICS - ARNIM VO...

There is a wide consensus about the necessity of sustainable development. There is also a
consensus that wide areas of our economy  industry  and technology and the life styles in
industrialized countries are not susta- able. Science and technology are widely regarded as
(main) causes for this situation. Issues in this context comprise the generally low resource
ef- ciency  an increased and mostly undebated technological power  an - creased invasiveness of
modern technologies  increasing amounts and - versity of pollutants  and high technological
risks. On the other hand science and technology are also regarded as (main) solution providers
towards more sustainability. Thus the question is which type of science and technology is
rather a part of the problem  and which type is rather a part of the solution? 'Learning from
nature' may give some orientation in this context. B- mimetics and bionics are widely regarded
as being a part of the solution.
