The Founding of C.A.R.M.E.N.
C.A.R.M.E.N., the Coordinating Office for Renewable Raw Materials, was founded on 6th July 1992 at the instigation of the Free State of Bavaria during a symposium on “The Cycle of Nature – Natural Raw Materials for a Modern Society”, which was held in the Würzburg Residenz, a building which has been appointed World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
The statutes reads:?”The purpose of C.A.R.M.E.N. is to promote the research, study, development and use of renewable raw materials to safeguard the future of rural areas, as well as to meet environmental, social and economic demands.
How is C.A.R.M.E.N. Organized?
During its five years of operating, C.A.R.M.E.N. has come a long way. Today 57 medium-sized companies and industrial associations have become members of C.A.R.M.E.N, which is organized as a non-profit organization.
C.A.R.M.E.N. is the Bavarian coordinating office for renewable raw materials and was set up as a service institution for partners from both the industrial and the political sector. Although C.A.R.M.E.N. is a Bavarian organization, it also works on projects outside the Bavarian state lines and even outside Germany.
Aims
?Working For the Future – Working For Our Environment
With Agenda 21 and the reform in the agrarian sector, renewable resources are now becoming more and more important for agriculture, environment and industry. This new focus is more than justified, since the utilization of renewable resources might become a model for environmentally-friendly production which is in tune with the cycle of nature.
