Life Cycle Assessment LCA is the only standardized method to evaluate the environmental footprint of a whole supply chain. Energy consumption and GreenHouse Gas (CO 2 ) emissions are key factors in determining environmental footprint. 6 CO 2 Biodegradation of product results in no net CO 2 increase Cradle-to-gate Raw Materials Energy Recycle Raw Material Acquisition Transportation Manufacturing Transportation Use/Reuse/ Maintenance Waste Management Co-products Air Emissions Waterborne Wastes Solid Wastes Cradle-to-grave
Susterra Life Cycle Assessment* Comparison From cradle-to-gate, the production of Susterra consumes 38% less energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 42% versus petroleum-based propylene glycol. 7

Case Study: INTERCOOL BIOGREEN 14 Walmart Burlington, Ont. STANTEC CONSULTING: This giant retail store in southern Ontario uses an innovative geothermal system that was installed in a very short time. Stantec designed a large geothermal heating and cooling system for Walmart Canada's 135,000-square-foot green prototype supercentre in Burlington, Ontario. The project used other innovative cost-saving technologies as well. Harvesting Heat From Store Refrigerator Cases Stantec worked with the refrigeration equipment engineer to design a system that harnesses the heat rejected from refrigerator cases and uses it for the hydronic heating system in the store during the cold months. During the warm months, the rejected heat is stored in the geo-exchange field. The CO2-based refrigeration systems use a non-traditional heat transfer fluid, which is 90% more environmentally friendly than conventional refrigerants. Bio-Green 1,3-Propanediol (25 mixture) has improved environmental and heat transfer properties compared to propylene glycol.
