This makes them into a key strategy for mitigating <strong>climate change<\/strong> alongside cutting greenhouse gas emissions from power generation.<\/p>\n<p>The agri-food and chemical industries, transport, construction and equipment manufacturing are some of the most promising sectors in this field in Catalonia. However, all economic activities can reap the benefits of extending the life of resources as far as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The circular economy seeks to preserve the value of resources throughout the life cycle of products and services to the greatest extent possible with economic benefits derived from resource savings, pollution abatement and consumer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>The options for improvement in this area come from building eco-design into the early stage of devising new products. This might include, for example, not adding toxic compounds or ones which make recycling difficult, fostering new usage models to extend their life to the maximum such as the product-as-a-service concept, and recovering value at the end of life by remanufacturing or recycling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn lockstep and to achieve climate neutrality at the earliest feasible date, we need to drive the energy transition with a shift to renewable energies, mobility electrification drawing on renewable sources and also energy efficiency in buildings,\u201d says Miquel Rovira, director of Eurecat\u2019s Sustainability Division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers are increasingly making their purchases based on an environmental standpoint and are extremely keen for brands to be eco-friendly,\u201d he adds. This goes hand in hand with lifestyle trends which \u201cput concern for the planet\u2019s health and people\u2019s wellbeing at the forefront.\u201d However, \u201csometimes these are areas where there is still a lot to do in terms of manufacturing processes and social awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurope imports greenhouse gas emissions by using lots of products from other countries,\u201d points out Frederic Clarens, Director of Eurecat\u2019s Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact Unit. \u201cThis should prompt us to think about how we need to be more aware of the emissions from the products we buy and insist on getting environmental information from suppliers so we can compare options.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eurecat draws on life cycle assessment to estimate the environmental net gain of the technological innovation processes it runs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eurecat uses life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to <strong>estimate the environmental net gain<\/strong>\u00a0of the technological innovation processes it runs. This allows it to quantify the carbon dioxide emissions averted in each one with a view to gathering fresh data to help mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWidespread use and disclosure of environmental net gain estimation in areas such as production, usage and mobility would furnish more information to help curb carbon dioxide emissions as it would empower the public in their decisions,\u201d argues Frederic Clarens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t estimate the amount of carbon dioxide from processes and products, cutting emissions will be a big ask,\u201d he points out. So \u201cit\u2019s essential to calculate the quantities which are saved and compare them with benchmark processes and products to show the environmental net gain achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rolling out circular economy\u00a0principles could well cut production and usage emissions by 45 percent says the\u00a0Eurecat technology centre.
