the brand mulino bianco
Established in 1975, it offers a varied range
of simple, genuine bakery products for easy
consumption both at home and away.
It represents part of Italian food culture
in everyday family life.
Plant and process
Pan Bauletto Bianco, a type of bread, is produced
in an two Italian plants (Cremona
and Melfi), where a typical bakery process
takes place. The process steps involved in
the manufacture of bread are: mixing ingredients
(flour, water, salt and yeast) to form a
dough; bulk fermentation; division of dough
into individual loaf-sized pieces; moulding,
proofing and baking of pieces in specific gas
oven; cooling and packaging.
Pan Bauletto Bianco is packed into 400
grams format. The product does not need to
be cooked, it is ready for consumption.

Barilla Group
The Group dates back to 1877, from the pasta
and bread boutique in the centre of Parma
(Italy), owned by Pietro Barilla. Since then,
progress has always come under a guiding
hand, with exception from the period between
1971 and 1979, through a passing of
generations from father to son.
Barilla today stands as one of the top
Italian food groups, leading company in
the pasta market around the world, the processed
sauce market of continental Europe,
and the flatbread market in Scandinavia.
The Group, that is now driven by the three
brothers Guido, Luca and Paolo, employs a
workforce of over 15.000 people and has an
annual turnover of 4,1 billion euro in 49 production
plants (14 in Italy and 35 abroad),
including 9 mills that provide the majority
of raw materials required for the Group’s
production of pasta and oven-baked goods.
Products are exported to over 150 countries:
the plants provide an annual production
of nearly 3 million tons of foodstuff
that are consumed worldwide under the label
of various brands. www.barillagroup.com
The Group’s brands
The Group’s brands fall into two principle
business areas: meal solution and bakery
products. In the Meal Solution section, Barilla
leads the pasta market both in Italy and
worldwide, in which it sells under the Barilla
brand name, symbol of Italian gastronomy,
and with lead brands at a local level (Misko in
Greece, Filiz in Turkey and Yemina in Mexico).
In addition, Barilla also claims leadership in
the processed sauce segment, with over 40
different recipes to guarantee the right solution
tailored to the needs of a worldwide
market. The area of baked goods includes
products that cover the different moments
of consumption, from breakfast meals to
snacks such as: biscuits, toasted bread, cereals,
snacks, confectionery, soft breads, pastries
and snacks, cakes and crispbread for bid
which includes almost 180 products, fruit of
35 different production technologies.
The product brands are flanked by the
brand Number 1, group company specialized
in logistic services, and First for retail sales
services.

General
hypotheses
adopted
Here the main relevant hypotheses are presented.
1. raw materials
Cereals cultivation impacts have been calculated on the
basis of primary data (yield and fertilizers use) collected
from farmers integrated with secondary data collected
mainly from Ecoinvent (www.ecoinvent.ch).
Cultivation yield are referred to 2009 production.
Data from public database (Ecoinvent) are used for
other raw material in Pan Bauletto recipe (vegetable
oil, yeast).
2. Production process
Bakery environmental impacts are calculated
considering electricity and natural gas consumption by
the oven. They are calculted using specific natural gas
consumption for the product and a mass allocation*
for other environmental aspects.
Cremona and Melfi plants are considered in the
analysis. Contribution of each plant to environmental
aspectc is based on 2009 overall Pan Bauletto
production. Primary data (2009 year) are used
for energy and water consumption and for waste
production; secondary data (ecoinvent database) are
used for energy and water production.
5. pack End of life
Environmental impacts related to waste disposal of
packaging are out of the boundaries because they
depend on the consumer habits and organization of
waste collection services.
4. distribution
Distribution impacts are calculated using considering
100% of production delivered in Italy by truck.
The product does not need any particular storage
condition (such as refrigeration).
3. Packaging
Environmental impacts are calculated taking into
account 400 grams format.
Primary data (from Barilla packaging unit) are used
for packaging amount and secondary data (ecoinvent
database) for packaging material production.
* PCR requires for economic allocation but the mass allocation is applied as better criterium according to ISO 14044 §4.3.4 (the updating PCR has been submitted to technical committee).

packaging end of life
Primary packaging composed by plastic flexible film is
recyclable. It is recommended to send this type of packaging
to differentiated urban waste.
To help the consumer in the disposal phase, every Ba-
rilla primary packaging contains an icon that states the
packaging material suggestion for proper disposal.
Secondary packaging (paperboard box used for product
transport) has to be sent to a recyclable circuit managed
by retailers.

Elaboration of CONAI data
Environmental performance of dump is due mainly to its
management that causes the production of biogas and
leachate. Packaging treatment of 1 unit (400 grams format)
of Pan Bauletto may cause the emission of about 1 gram of
CO₂eq.
34% of the total amount of film produced in Italy
Elaboration of CONAI data
In this way product energy content may be recovered (about
0,5 MJ per unit).

Elaboration of CONAI data
It allows to avoid the production of virgin polymer.

Ecological Footprint
www.globalfootprint.org
The Ecological Footprint measures the area of biologically productive
land and water required to provide the resources used and absorb
the carbon dioxide waste generated by human activity, under
current technology, by tracking flows of resources and carbon emissions
on annual basis. It is measured in standard units called global
hectares (GHA).
The calcultaion methodology was developed by the Global Footprint
Network.
Carbon Footprint
The product carbon footprint is a measure of potential contribution
to climate change due to the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG)
released by production chain processes.
This contribution, global warming potential (GWP), is measured
in terms of mass of CO₂ equivalent and is calculated by multiplying
the specific GHG emissions (mainly CO₂, N₂O, CH₄) by the specific
conversion factors defined by the IPCC (www.ipcc.ch).
Many protocols are available for its calculation.
Glossary
Water Footprint
www.waterfootprint.org
The water footprint of a product is the volume of freshwater used to
produce the product, measured over the full supply chain.
It is a multi-dimensional indicator, showing water consumption
volumes by source and polluted volumes by type of pollution; all
components of a total water footprint are specified geographically
and temporally.
The calculation methodology was developed by the Water Footprint
Network.

Acidification Potential
(AP)
Phenomenon by which atmospheric rainfall has a pH value below
the normal average. It can provoke damage to forests and agriculture,
as well as to aquatic ecosystems and manmade structures. It is
the result of SO₂, of NOx, and NH₃, that are included in the Acidification
Potential indicator (AP) expressed in moles of H+ produced.
Eutrophication Potential
(EP)
Nutrient enrichment of flowing water bodies, which determines
unbalance in aquatic ecosystems due to excessive flourishing caused
by lack of nutrient limitation. The Eutrophication potential (EP)
especially includes phosphate and nitrogen salts, and is expressed
as grams of oxygen equivalent (g O₂).
Ozone Depletion Potential
(ODP)
Degradation of the stratospheric layer of the ozone involved in blocking
the UV component of sunrays. Depletion is due to particularly
reactive components that originate from chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
or chlorofluoromethanes (CFM). The substance employed as benchmark
measure for OPD is trichlorofluoromethane, or CFC-11.
Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential
(POCP)
Production of compounds that foster oxidation due to interaction
with light, resulting in ozone formation in the troposphere. The
POCP indicator mostly encompasses VOC (volatile organic compounds)
and is expressed as grams of ethylene equivalent (g C₂H₄).
