Life Cycle Analysis with GreenCalc

GreenCalc is a trusted Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) software that quantifies financial and environmental savings in supply chains.

Savings

Savings

Through GreenCalc Nefab measures and identifies areas of improvement in customers' supply chains. Based on the results, Nefab designs packaging solutions that are more sustainable and cost-efficient.

Developed in collaboration with PRé-Sustainability and powered by SimaPro and Ecoinvent, GreenCalc holds ISO standards and follows the ReCiPe 2016 MIDPOINT Hierarchist LCA methodology.

Analysis

Analysis

GreenCalc considers multiple environmental impact categories, such as Global Warming Potential (GWP), water and energy consumption, types of packaging materials, transport modes, and logistics flows - including one-way and returnable.

What GreenCalc can do for you

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analysis technique that allows us to understand the environmental impacts associated with all stages of a product's life — from extracting the raw materials involved, to manufacturing, distribution, use, and eventually, end of life.

With GreenCalcTM, we utilize the core principles of LCA to provide our customers with a complete, transparent analysis of the environmental impact of packaging and logistic flows. By using GreenCalc, Nefab can support your company’s sustainability objectives by:

Quantifying a wide range of climate impact parameters through a detailed multiple criteria analysis;
Evaluating the environmental impact of current and potential packaging solutions;
Identifying areas of improvement that can be addressed by a new packaging design;
Implementing complete packaging solutions based on the GreenCalc data.

The GreenCalc Process

Understand the environmental impact of your packaging and logistics solutions at every stage with GreenCalc. Our four-step process is designed for maximum efficiency:

Step 1: Gathering Data - We start by gathering all the necessary information about your current packaging and logistics solutions.

Step 2: Solution Design Proposal - Our Engineers will present a new packaging design proposal that considers CO2eq emissions and total cost results in accordance with your sustainability goals.

Step 3: GreenCalc Report - Using the data gathered and the proposed solution, we generate an extensive comparison report to help you make informed decisions.

Step 4: Implementation - We optimize and implement the new solution to reduce the total cost and environmental impact.

GreenCalc Report

The GreenCalcTM report includes a comparison of packaging materials logistics flows and how they save CO2eq emissions and total cost. The final step is to implement a new solution that saves both financial and environmental resources in the supply chain.
