Several studies in Germany aimed at the development of a sound database on existing waste prevention measures by public bodies at the local, regional and federal levels. These results are the starting point for the creation of a national prevention program, which has to be presented by all European Member States until the end of 2013--due to the revised European Waste Framework Directive. Based on this empirical foundation, this paper draws conclusions with regard to drivers and barriers for eco-innovations in the field of waste prevention. The analysis shows that an optimized adaptation of information on waste prevention to the needs of specific target groups is still missing but could be a relevant driver. With regard to barriers the results of the study show that waste prevention is by no means always a win-win-situation. Institutional frameworks are missing to coordinate the different interests and for the exchange of experiences that could help to realize learning effects regarding innovation approaches.
几项在德国进行的研究旨在为地方、地区和联邦各级公共机构现有的废物预防措施建立一个健全的数据库。这些结果是创建国家预防计划的起点，由于修订后的《欧洲废物框架指令》，所有欧洲成员国必须在 2013 年底前提出该计划。基于这一经验基础，本文就废物预防领域的生态创新的驱动因素和障碍得出了结论。分析表明，仍然缺乏针对特定目标群体需求对废物预防信息进行优化调整，但这可能是一个相关的驱动因素。关于障碍，研究结果表明，废物预防并非总是双赢局面。缺乏协调不同利益和交流经验的体制框架，而这些经验可以帮助实现创新方法的学习效果。
