With pressure to reduce environmental impact of activities throughout all its activities, industry requires simple decision-support tools for estimating the inventories of carbon-equivalents (i.e. greenhouse gases) along complete supply chains. For widespread adoption any methodology needs to consider full lifecycle and be applicable across different industrial sectors.

 

This session introduces the CCaLC tool which enables estimations of carbon footprint and other environmental impacts along different manufacturing supply chains. Easy to use and accompanied by extensive lifecycle databases, it helps to identify ‘hot spots’ and carbon reduction opportunities. It also enables calculations of value added in the supply chain so that trade-offs with carbon-added can be analysed. For more information on CCaLC, please visit: www.ccalc.org.uk where you can download the CCalC tool for free.

 

Key benefits of attending this seminar:

• Learn about the tool and how you can apply it in your own organisation
• See case studies from industry on the application of CCaLC to develop more sustainable products and supply chains
• Try and interactive demonstration of the tool for yourself and ask questions of the experts

CCaLC should be of interest to a wide range of organisations, including SMEs, wishing to estimate and manage their carbon footprint. CCaLC has been developed and tested with companies in food & drink, chemicals, polymers and bio-feedstock supply chains.

 

This seminar will be led by Dr Mike Pitts, Sustainability Manager for Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer Network and include interactive demonstrations from the CCaLC project team along with case studies from companies such as Kellogg’s, Ineos and Croda.
