  1. DANTES A demonstration project for sustainable development Klas Hallberg Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry September 24, 2003 InLCA/LCM, Seattle

  2. Project information • Co-financed by the EU LIFE-Environment Programme • Period: 2002 – 2005 • Partners: Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry ABB Stora Enso Chalmers University of Technology

  3. DANTES goals • Demonstrate environmental assessment tools such as: • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) • Life Cycle Cost (LCC) • Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) • Demonstrate tools for environmental communication like: • Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) • Environmental Performance Indicators (EPI)

  4. DANTES goals • Display strategies of how to use different sustainability tools in different functions within a company, focusing on: • Research & Development (R&D) • Marketing • Supply chain • Production • Environmental support

  5. LCA & ERA example • Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) and LCAon the same product (an asphalt additive) • Promotes the adhesion and extends pavement life • Low concentration (0,2-0,4% in weight of bitumen)

  6. LCA & ERA example Extraction of resource A Extraction of resource B Refining of resource B LCA Production of raw material Production of raw material Transport of raw material Transport of raw material Production Usage ERA Waste handling

  7. LCC case study • Environmental costs for companies and consumers (not the society) allocated to a product • Costs for all actors along the life cycle chain • Costs now and possible future costs • E.g. taxes, pollution prevention, testing of substances, permits, re-cycling fees etc.

  8. Petrochemical raw materials used Transportation Prod. raw material Prod. of product Prod. raw material Prod. raw material Prod. raw material Decomposition of product LCC case study - example 5 4.5 4 3.5 3 [kg CO2 / kg product] 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0

  9. Example of a strategy used in R&D - Gate model • A R&D project has to pass different stages • The stages are separated by gates • Each gate has key decision points with well defined - Go/Kill criteria for decision making about the projects survival

  10. Example of a strategy used in R&D - Gate model

  11. Example of a strategy used in R&D - Gate model • Have any ecotoxicity issues been identified? Will ecotoxicity testing be required by the market and/or by the authorities? • May renewable raw materials be used? • How will the product/process lead to an environmental improvement compared to existing alternatives? Gate 2 Project Initiation

  12. www.dantes.info Dissemination activities - the official DANTES website • General project information • Case study reports • Strategies aimed at different company functions • Web based tools
