Development of a partial CO2-footprint and Type-III-Environmental-Product-Declaration for a wood product
Table of contents
In this project the Chair of Environmental Management and accounting researched the environmental impacts of wood products using the CO2 footprint method. For this, the production process was modelled cradle-to-gate and analysed with the objective of identifying important variables for an ecological and economic optimisation. Furthermore, a type-III-Environmental Product Declaration, verified and published by the Institute "Bauen und Umwelt" ("building and environment"), was created.
