Improving the lives of dependent people and their caregivers!
Improving the lives of dependent people and their caregivers!
We are committed to reduce our carbon footprint as we innovate for patients and caregivers. To do so, we look at the emissions throughout the entire life of our product: from design and conception through raw material used and production, to maintenance and end of life (recyclability).
This is our Philosophy at Winncare : Customer Centric, Transparent and Sustainable.
As we move forward in our environmental journey, we aim to provide to our customers the Greenest solutions to support their engagement to limit Climate Change. To do so, we’re building Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) evaluation.
This evaluation captures all GHGs generated during the entire life cycle of a product, from raw material extraction, logistics, production and use to recycling or disposal. PCF is one component of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)
Understanding emissions of our products means we put in place the most adapted measures to reduce them.
Product Carbon Footprint in a few words
The Product Carbon Footprint evaluation is valuable knowledge for R&D teams.
Understanding the different emission centers for each product is the starting point of our Eco-Design development process. Whether it is design optimisation, resources consumption reduction or more sustainable materials identification, our R&D teams don’t exclude any new innovative and creative initiative that helps reduce emissions while providing the most edge-cutting technologies and solutions to make patients and caregivers lifes better.
Before diving into the details of the PCF calculation, it is important to understand the scientific frame for the analysis.
At Winncare we use the Base Empreinte© by ADEME. This Environmental database provides Emission Factors and evaluations on several products.
Extraction
The impact of Natural resources extraction needed produce the raw materials of our products
Inbound Transport
The impact of shipping from our suppliers to our production facilities
Our impact
The emissions generated by our own manufacturing process
Use of our products
The energy consumption of our products while eing used by our customers
Transformation
The GHGs emission during the production process of raw materials
Energies
The indirect emissions of the energy consumed to manufacture our products
Outbound Transport
The impact of shipping our products from our factories to our customers
End of Life*
The impact of recycling and disposal of our products at the end of their life
*Due to lack of visibility, still not included in our evaluations
Going through the different phases of the lifecycle of the products, you will have deeper insight on the different emissions and environmental impact of the product.
Our aim is to encompass all product ranges in our analysis of Product Carbon footprint. Yet, it is an enormous workload for the teams that’s why we’re advancing step by step to increase the coverage of the analysis. Don’t hesitate to visit this page everynow and then to discover the latest figures.
