  1. DANTES Akzo Nobel examples Johan Widheden

  2. Akzo Nobel • Multi-national, market driven, technology based company created in 1969. • Serving customers with healthcare products, coatings and chemicals • 13 bln euros net sales in 2003 • More than 60 000 employees • Operates in 80 countries

  3. Sustainable Development group Klas Hallberg Karin SanneMalin Bogeskär Anna-Lena PalmJohan Widheden • Life Cycle Assessments • Environmental Product Declarations • Eco-efficiency analyses • Environmental Risk Assessments • Environmental Impact Assessments • Transport and energy analyses Provide different environmental services, such as:

  4. EU New chemicals policy - REACH Registration, Evaluation and Authorisationof CHemicals • Merging of 2 current systems for new (1980-) and existing (-1980) chemicals into a new system • Registration of all chemicals >10 tonne/year in a central database • Main responsibility for collecting and evaluating data lies on the producers and importers of chemicals • Legislation 2 years from now (2007?) • Progressively installed, completed 2018

  5. Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) Data evaluation Effect assessment Exposure assessment PNEC = Predicted No-Effect Concentration PEC = Predicted Environmental Concentration RCR < 1 No risk! ERA life cycle Risk Characterisation Ratio RCR = PEC / PNEC

  6. ERA results

  7. ERA of the use of a flotation agent Flows of water and contaminants in a mining area

  8. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) + ERA LCA Including all activities from cradle to grave Potential environmental impacts from activities, e.g.:Resource useGlobal warmingWastes ERA including production, formulation, use and waste of chemical Risk of impacts on ecosystems (living organisms) from releases of a chemical product, Difficult to include direct effects of substances on ecosystems and humans

  9. Ecologyand Economy Sustainable Development Planet People Profit Eco-efficiency Eco-efficiency - the ratio of economic creation to ecological destruction

  10. The BASF Eco-Efficiency Analysis method

  11. Ecological impact Energy Wastes Water emissions Air emissions Land use Emissions Raw materials Toxicity potential Risk potential

  12. Weighting factors Relevance weighting Societal weighting - based on public and expert opinions on the relative importance of environmental, health and safety impact categories - differs between regions and countries

  13. Societal weighting factors

  14. Costs analysis Included costs depend on functional unit (benefit) Costs for the end customer sales price + costs during use + disposal costs Varies depending on e.g. the durability of the product

  15. Eco-efficiency evaluation of colorants Comparing the BASF eco-efficiency method with a study made by Akzo Nobel

  16. Environmental and economic impact LCA-based environmental impact • Consumption of energy • Consumption of resources • Land use • Emissions Economic impact • Environmental costse.g. environmental taxes, tests, investments on site Weighting method • According to “EPS”

  17. 0,0 Old Colorant Environmental impact (normalized) 1,0 New Colorant 2,0 1,2 1,0 0,8 Cost (normalized) Eco-efficiency results

  18. Other findings • Eco-efficiency analysis not time consuming if based on collected LCA data • Environmental costs found to be a relatively large part of the total costs of the studied colorants • Environmental costs of the surfactants (used in the colorants) 4,5% – 6,5% of the sales price (~1% normally reported)
