Electronics waste, or e-waste, is growing fast. For WEEE Forum, PRé completed databases and did an expert review of their e-waste recycling assessment tool, comparing various recycling scenarios.
Integrated software Carbon footprint
For Zuivel NL and FrieslandCampina, PRé and software company VAA created a climate add-on to the mandatory online KringloopWijzer tool, allowing 16,000 dairy farmers to calculate and reduce their GHG emissions.
SimaPro Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Product environmental footprint (PEF)
For a large construction trade association, PRé did PEF studies on two equivalent products and compared the results to EPDs based on the EN 15804 standard. The parameterised model is future-proof and the comparison yielded important insights.
Integrated software Biodiversity assessment
For Platform BEE, PRé co-developed BioScope, a tool to easily determine supply chain impact on biodiversity, visualised on a world map. The data can be gathered and entered by business stakeholders, the insights can be used for sustainable investments.
SimaPro Life cycle assessment
For AgroFair, a large banana importer looking to differentiate its products, PRé developed the easy-to-use Pesticide Footprint tool to quantify the toxic impacts of pesticides on human health and freshwater ecosystems.
SimaPro Circular economy Life cycle assessment
For Infinity Foods, PRé and the Wageningen University assessed the environmental impacts of 3 production methods of dietary fibres and beta-carotene. The assessment uncovers the business case for using residual carrots from vegetable food waste streams.
SimaPro Product environmental footprint (PEF) Review and verification
Part of the European Commission’s Environmental Footprinting initiative is testing its new rules with real products. PRé and Ecomatters reviewed 40 studies, uncovering useful information that will be used to refine the rules.
SimaPro Life cycle assessment Harmonizing LCA rules
For labelling industry associations FINAT and TLMI, PRé developed a harmonised approach to LCA. This helps FINAT and TLMI members integrate LCA in their practice in a way that increases transparency and insight throughout the sector.
Custom tools Harmonizing LCA rules
For the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, a global alliance of apparel, footwear and home textile companies, PRé developed three tools for sustainable product development. The tools focus on material sustainability, ecodesign and data gathering.
Integrated software Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
For BRE, an independent certification organisation, PRé developed BRE LINA, an online life cycle assessment tool for the construction sector. With BRE LINA, construction companies can meet requests for EPDs more easily.
