Carbon footprint – CO2 footprint

The purpose of this carbon footprint assessment is to calculate the climate impact of producing waste bags made from recycled PE at Norfolier's facility in Notodden.

The carbon footprint of the waste bags is compared against examples of producing standard bags made from virgin materials in Germany and China.

The result indicates that the carbon footprint of waste bags made from recycled materials is more than 10 times lower than that of equivalent bags made from virgin materials.
