Calculation of environmentalMonini EPD04 ® , December 2012performancep. 22PACKAGING OF THE OILFrom storageto shippingStorageMonini S.p.A. has about 170 storage tanksfor a total capacity of 5,500,000 litres, allstainless steel, interconnected and equippedwith electronic level probes in order tocontinuously monitor the quantities of oilcontained and those transferred from onetank to another.All the tanks are temperature controlled andare connected to an inert gas (nitrogen)distribution system that ensures optimalproduct preservation.FilteringImmediately before packaging the oils aresubjected to a double filtration process.Filtering does not alter the quality andnutritional characteristics of the oil, but ratherensures better preservation over time.PackagingMonini S.p.A. has 7 modern packaging lines,with a daily average bottling capacity of200,000 litres, and a maximum capacity of260,000 litres over 24 hours. They allow theoil to be bottled in 100ml, 250ml, 500ml, 1L,3L, and 5L containers, in order to satisfy thevarious needs of the market.Every packaging line is equipped with videocameras, which systematically detect anyforeign bodies present within the containers,monitor the presence of the label and cap,and verify the production batch and the oillevel of each single container.Finally, ultra-modern automatic laser-guidedshuttles transfer the pallets of packaged oilto the warehouse, where they will await finalshipment.
Calculation of environmentalMonini EPD04 ® , December 2012performancep. 23DISTRIBUTION AND USE PHASEThe final stages of the product's life cycleDistributionThe product is distributed throughout Italyand globally.The weighted average distance for thequantities distributed globally over the pastthree years has been calculated according tothe data provided by Monini.For foreign countries, it was calculated fromthe Monini production facility to the respectivecapitals. The weight of the Extra Virgin OliveOil and its packaging is equal to 1.35 kg forthe GranFruttato Oil.Use phaseThe use phase of the Extra Virgin Oil isexcluded according to the PCR, however,a percentage of oil which may not beconsumed or disposed of after use is takeninto consideration (for example, in cooking);nevertheless, the values obtained from theCarbon Trust data base, equal to 21% in theUK, and 25% in the USA, are attributed to theentire sector of fats used by industry (foodpreparation, food cooking and frying, thepreparation of vegetable oil food preserves)and restaurants (essentially frying, but alsoincluding food cooking), where the productthat has not been consumed or disposed ofis relevant.With regard to the Monini Extra Virgin Oilmarketed in the retail sector, the amountsof product that are not consumed ordisposed of are limited to those remainingin the packaging following use (estimatedat most to be 0.5% for a 1-litre bottle) andthe residues eliminated when washing thedishes after a meal (in even more irrelevantquantities).According to the OECD Compendium 2006-2008 document, the 15 countries belongingto the European Union at the time recycled65% of their glass bottles; this datum wasalso used for non-European Countriesas it is specific to glass. According toEurostat, in the 27 countries now belongingto the European Union, the disposal of wastein landfills and by incineration (with andwithout energy recovery) is respectively 54%and 46%; these percentages were also usedfor non-European countries because otherdata is not available. Again according toEurostat, the percentage of waste recyclingin the 27 countries of the European Union isequal to 48%; Eurostat figures were used todefine the end scenario of other packagingmaterials as well (the bottle cap, etc.).The processes of waste disposal in landfillsand via incineration were obtained from theEcoinvent database and are specific for thepackaging material; for the recycling process,only transportation assumed to be equal to100 km, covered by trucks with capacitiesranging from 16 to 32 tonnes, was taken intoconsideration.
