Benefits of using the eco2 Recycling Graph

Why You Need eco2 EoL Management

• Saves money at EoL through application of a management system, that objectively evaluates and provides a necessary decision base

• Finds the best (economical-ecological) solution for EoL products and wastes

• Provides an objective solution for the trade-off between economic and ecological optimisation

• Proactive behaviour provides a leading position in the market  

• Being beyond mere conformity with EoL directives is a basis for success

• Finds the best ecological solution by simultaneously being aware of the economic situation

• Finds solutions based on quantitative evaluation results  

Advantages From Your Application of the eco2 Recycling Graph

• Application of a time and cost efficient evaluation method fully supporting requirements from the directive for closed loop recycling management (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz)  

• Calculation by an EoL management method gaining objective results (no subjective allocation factors or arbitrary boundaries of system expansion)  

• Intelligent use of profound know-how and tools by the application of well established methods LCA and LCE 

• Graphical support providing transparent, interpretable and very communicable results (see figure)  

• Evaluation of all options in EoL, including material recycling, thermal recycling and disposal  

• Full regard of technical aspects  

• Inclusion of logistics  

Advantages of the eco2 Recycling Graph Against Other Evaluations

The eco2 recycling graph

• is faster and cheaper than the time consuming and costly procedure of an entire LCA, if EoL alone shall be investigated.  

• provides clear and understandable results, good for interpretation internally and externally  

• offers economical and ecological evaluation results considering identical system boundaries (better comparable results than by the application of separated environmental and economic tools) 

• allows finding the best (economical and ecological) solution for EoL alternatives for products and wastes  

• provides an objective decision base for the trade-off between economical and ecological optimisation  

• shows results on base of quantitative values
