Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Chalmers University of Technology Industrial Environmental Informatics Markus Erlandsson A demonstration project for sustainable development April 26, 2005 CILCA, San José, Costa Rica

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES –IMI at Chalmers University of Technology –General information and goal on the DANTES project –Strategies aimed at different company functions –Tools and methods for environmental assessment and communication –Publications –Future Content of this presentation

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability PUBLICATIONSDANTES Industrial Environmental Informatics - IMI IMI is a research department of Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden Academic research, Develops and maintains information management systems for industrial environmental applications Based on results from joint academic and industrial work since Resumé includes joint projects with ABB, Bombardier, Electrolux, Ericsson, IKEA, SAAB, SCA, Stora Enso, Volvo, Vattenfall etc. Currently 7 personnel

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Project information Supported by the European Union (EU) LIFE - Environment Programme Period:2002 – 2005 (August 31) Partners:Akzo Nobel – Chemistry ABB – Heavy electrical equipment Stora Enso – Forestry pulp and paper Chalmers University of Technology - Industrial Environmental Informatics

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES DANTES goals Demonstrate and evaluate environmental assessment and communication tools: −Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) −Life Cycle Costing (LCC) −Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) −Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) −Environmental Performance Indicators (EPI) Focus on –practical use of the tools within the participating companies –apply these tools for decision-making within different parts of the company

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY TOOLS DANTES is a smorgasbord! Environmental Product Declarations Transportation and environment Key Performance Indicators Sustainability issues in R&D Environmental Management Systems Energy efficiency CO 2 emission trading Exposure scenarios Sustainability information on the WEB Eco-efficiency evaluation Environmental Risk Assessment Environmental education Supplier evaluation Life Cycle Cost Environment CommunicationEngineering Economy LCA

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES strategies DANTES strategies describe how and when to use different sustainability tools and methods in different functions within a company, focusing on: −Research & Development (R&D) −Marketing −Supply chain −Production −Environmental support

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability Strategies – definition in context of DANTES By strategy we mean –A guideline on how the methods and tools described within DANTES, can be used to find requested information needed for environmentally related decisions, and how the resulting information is communicated to the decision-makers A strategy describes how to handle environmental issues in a company and to reach the overall environmental goals within the company

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability STRATEGIES Strategy – the journey from a question to an answer

– the DANTES project website

– the DANTES project website Each strategy is described in terms of –Background –Working procedure –Experiences

Example of a strategy on the DANTES website Background Title Purpose for using the strategy Target group Simplified description for the target group Context

Example of a strategy on the DANTES website Working procedure Step-by-step description Identification of used methods and tools

Example of a strategy on the DANTES website Experiences Success stories Resources needed Potential risks

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability Strategies currently available on Research & Development –Sustainability aspects in product development –Environmental aspects in a gate model for the chemical industry –Design for Environment Marketing –Use of EPD in marketing –Use of sustainability tools to answer questions from customers –SPI in market communication –Marketing tools for products

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability Strategies currently available on Supply chain –Supply management –Analysis of the environmental impact from transportation –Use of EPIs in supply chain communication Production –Implementing an Environmental Management System, EMS –Analyzing and reducing energy use –Greenhouse gas emission trading

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability Strategies currently available on Environmental support –How to perform an LCA –How to perform an EPD –Material declaration and recycling description –Handling and reporting environmental information –Policy controlled environmental management –Product stewardship implementation –How to perform application specific Environmental Risk Assessment, ERA

DANTES Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability Strategy – focus on the information need The DANTES strategies are focusing on the information need instead of on the tools The strategies have not been developed within DANTES. They have been selected and the selection have been strategically compiled and demonstrated on the DANTES web page

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Tools and Methods Strategies describe an integrated usage of many tools and methods to find the requested information needed for decision-making Require each tool and method to be described in terms of –Scope –Purpose for using the tool –Leverage effect (efficiency of effort > 1) Each tool and method has been analysed and structured based on practical experiences and knowledge about environmental informatics

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Tools and Methods described in DANTES Management tools –Life Cycle Management –Product Stewardship –Environmental Management Systems Assessment tools –Life Cycle Assessment –Life Cycle Costing –Environmental Risk Assessment Communication tools –Environmental Product Declaration –Environmental Performance Indicator –Safety Data Sheets Other info –ISO standards, EU legislation, Conventions Software –Calculation and database tools

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Publications The DANTES website does also contain a lot of publication in terms of case studies, reports, description of methods, surveys Example of reports: –LCA studies performed by the ABB and Akzo Nobel –EPDs performed by the ABB –ERA studies performed by the Akzo Nobel –Documentation of methods, tools, and guidelines provided by Chalmers, IMI

Demonstrate and Assess New Tools for Environmental Sustainability DANTES Future After the end of the DANTES project the web site will be maintained and updated of CPMwww.dantes.info
