The Deutscher Rohstoffeffizienz‑Preis (German Raw Material Efficiency Award) is a German national award established in 2011 to honor outstanding examples of resource and material efficiency in products, processes, and services, as well as application‑oriented research results that help reduce raw material use in the economy. It is organized by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action in cooperation with the Deutsche Rohstoffagentur (DERA) of the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources. The award highlights innovative approaches that increase material efficiency, promote recycling, optimize product design, and reduce dependency on primary raw materials, encouraging sustainable industrial practices across sectors. Typically presented biennially or annually, winners include small and medium‑sized enterprises and research institutions whose work demonstrates significant potential for economic and environmental benefits through smarter use of resources. The award ceremonies take place in Berlin, and awardees receive recognition that supports wider dissemination of efficient technologies and practices in Germany’s manufacturing and research communities.
