1 Construction and PAS 2050 at the Carbon Trust Dr John Kazer +44 (0) /12/2018

2 Agenda Status of PAS 2050 at Carbon Trust What can you do? Case studies - Construction materials - Fixtures and fittings - Machinery 2

3 Carbon Trust and standards Energy policy & technology development Energy efficiency advice & audit GHG footprints, certification, labelling There s a standard for that - (PAS 2080) - PAS 2050, 10 years on - ISO BS EN Science-based Targets, Scope 3 3

4 What can you do? Quite a lot Approaches to sustainable construction - Collaboration or go it alone - Inventory vs neutrality - Footprints vs targets - Management systems vs specific items - Products vs services - Comparisons and reduction - Building operation vs construction 4

5 Footprint list Materials - Holcim cement - Marshalls paving - Bio-based paints - Metalsider pig iron -> steel - Collaboration - Pipe insulation material Fixtures & fittings - Arauco laminated wood panels - Carbon neutral - Formica panels - Full range (20,000 SKUs) - Dyson hand dryers - Comparisons to paper towels - Polythene UK plastic wrap - Carbon neutral Equipment - JCB Diggers 5

6 Some case studies Metalsider pig iron (& steel) JCB diggers Holcim cement Polythene UK plastic film 6

7 Pig iron and steel 7

8 Case Study JCB Product design innovation The Carbon Trust worked with JCB to carry out a whole life cycle analysis of JCB s backhoe loader, and provide insight and recommendations oh how to reduce the associated environmental impact 2 million Operational savings 20% carbon reduction 10-30% energy cost savings identified 10, ,000 supply chain savings The Carbon Trust developed a lifecycle footprint model that established the carbon and cost impact of detailed engineering component-based design This resulted in significant redesign extending the product life and reduced the impact of the usestage. Advice was provided on changing of the business based on total life cycle cost of ownership Significant opportunities were identified in JCB s own operations and within their supply chain

9 Case Study Holcim Reviewing client carbon footprint methodology The Carbon Trust worked with Holcim to enable all group companies to calculate and report their Product Carbon Footprints of ready-mix in a consistent manner that could be externally verified In a competitive product market where the price, quality, availability of your products closely match our competitors, it is our products environmental credentials that are increasingly seen by buyers/specifiers as the next real differentiator. Eva Carranza, Project Manager, Sustainable Development The Carbon Trust worked with Holcim to: Ensure harmonization, credibility and comparability across the group s carbon footprinting activities for RMX products Stimulated marketing and sale strategies and customer choices towards the product with the lowest CO2e footprint for a specific application Ensure common understanding of product footprints, enabling the management and communication of the risks and opportunities

10 0 Case Study Polythene UK Carbon Neutral certification for bioplastics Polythene UK shows the circular-economy potential bioplastics with carbon neutral polyethylene bags By working with the Carbon Trust to better understand the lifecycle impacts of our biopolyethylene bags we can be confident that they are in fact carbon neutral, which helps us to provide our clients with a more sustainable product. James Woollard, Managing Director The Carbon Trust calculated the carbon footprint of biopolyethylene plastic bags to PAS2060 This material was certified as carbon neutral The CO2 absorbed by the sugar cane Is greater than the total emissions from the processing and transportation of raw materials to the UK, as well as energy used in manufacturing Energy for the process is from sugar cane residue bagasse used as biofuel in a combined HP plant.

11 1 Case Study Dyson Enabling sustainable product design Enabling accurate understanding of the effect of design innovation and changes on product environmental performance Good design and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. By considering the environment from the start, our engineers develop machines that are more powerful, perform better and work using less energy and materials. James Dyson, Inventor Dyson wanted to measure the total carbon footprint of the Dyson Airblade and compare it against traditional hand driers paper towels Working with the Carbon Trust Dyson was able to reduce the environmental impact and energy consumption during the usephase of the product Dyson uses the footprinting label in advertising, sales brochures and exhibits in more than 20 countries globally
