Carbon and Water Footprint
ongoing
In 2015 we followed up the development project which uses a Calculation Tool to calculate the Carbon and Water Footprint of Products. The following progress was made in relation to this project: • We maintained the learning curve in the development of the tool. • We started the development of a new computing tool for the calculation of footprints due to the inability of the previous tool to compute the complexity and the dimension of the desired calculation. • We extended the knowledge of productive processes to new products. • We developed a support tool for the Producers, in order to attain the necessary information. In 2016, the Calculation Tool is able to to calculate the Carbon and Water Footprint of 40 new products (last year we calculated the carbon and water footprint of 13 products).
