Carbon Footprint Analysis – CO2 Footprint

The purpose of this climate account is to calculate the climate impact from the production of refuse sacks made from recycled PE at Norfolier’s plant at Notodden.

The climate accounts for refuse sacks are compared to examples for the production of standard bags made of virgin material in Germany and China, respectively. The result shows that the carbon footprint for refuse sacks made from recycled material is more than 10 times lower than existing bags made of virgin material.
