Epd FOR “PIACERE LEGGERO” FRESH MILK IN PET BOTTLES 8. Additional Information Representativeness of the farms Granarolo acquires the raw material from a large number of farms, all situated in Italy, which are divided into classes, not only on the basis of the number of animals but also in terms of the quantity of milk produced per day (expressed in litres/day). The distribution of milk producers according to the distinction made by Granarolo is illustrated in Figure 5, from which it emerges that most of the milk (about 81%) comes from the cowsheds with a daily production of over 3,000 litres/day. contributions to total milk production by cowshed categories 81% >3,000 l/g figure 5 – contributions to total milk production by the cowshed categories (2011 data). 2.6% 501-1,000 l/g 0.8% 0-500 l/g 15.6% 1,001-3,000 l/g Primary milk production data The primary milk production data used for the LCA and to draw up this Environmental Product Declaration refers to a sample of 8 farms; in quantitative terms, the production of these companies was equivalent to 12% of the Piacere Leggero milk produced by Granarolo in 2011. As regards their production, the sample cowsheds belong to the main categories shown in Figure 5 (> 300 l/g), so as to guarantee that 99,8% of the Piacere Leggero milk produced and delivered to Granarolo is represented (the cowsheds with a productivity of less than 300 litres/day, which account for 0,2% of the milk were left out of the sample). Primary milk processing data The primary milk processing and packaging data refers to all the 5 plants indicated in Figure 1 and accounts for 100% of the production of Granarolo Piacere Leggero milk packaged in 1.5, 1 and 0.5 litre PET containers. Use and end of life of the bottle The impacts associated with the use of the milk and management of the primary packaging after use are closely correlated with the consumer’s behaviour. Consumption of Piacere Leggero Milk As regards the use phase, the main environmental impact is associated with the storage of the fresh product in the refrigerator considering that the Piacere Leggero milk has a life of 6 days following pasteurization. 8.
