I am just coming back from a trip to Hong Kong doing an Environmental Audit at a plastic manufacturer in China. Significant energy saving potentials could be identified. Key Environmental Performance Indicators (KEPI) to monitor the energy performance have been developed and the cost improvements potential motivates to do even more in reducing the energy consumption in manufacturing plastic products.
If you are interested to carry out an Environmental Audit at your own products or manufacturing site please contact me.

At the workshop on the 27th of August in Paris a product from a selected company was analysed with several scientific methods and approaches from scientists and experts from universities and research organisations active in ECODESIGN. The resulting improvement recommendations were evaluated and ranked based on their importance by all participants. The company now possessess a clear catalogue of prioritized tasks to be implemented based on the scientific state-of-the-art ECODESIGN knowledge and expertise.
All participants are looking forward to the practical results to be presented by the company at the next workshop in 6 months.
The ECODESIGN Special Interest Group aims at linking scientific research results from active universities and research centers with companies that are ready for implementing ECODESIGN methods for their benefit.
