Helping Eurostampa understand their carbon footprint across their operations
A multinational company headquartered in Italy, Eurostampa have been creating innovative product labelling solutions for leading liquor, wine, chocolate, food and cosmetics brands since 1966. Eurostampa produce a wide range of labels, including wet-and-glue and pressure-sensitive varieties. The company sought to calculate the global warming potential of each of its products.
Challenge
Eurostampa produce a wide range of labels, including wet-and-glue and pressure-sensitive varieties. The company sought to calculate the global warming potential of each of its products.
dss+ Approach
Eurostampa worked with dss+ consultants to categorise their two overarching product categories into nine clusters for analysis. Within each cluster, consumption data were collected for at least four distinct customer product orders.
The global warming potential for each order (estimated in kg CO2 eq per 1000 labels) was modelled using the SimaPro life cycle analysis platform. A total of 84 label orders were modelled, with gross paper and foil as explanatory variables, and 18 regression models were identified. This drove the creation of spreadsheet-based tools that allow users in the US and Italy to calculate the global warming potential of any order.
Assignment
Calculate the global warming potential of product labels.
Offering
