Projects to reduce waterconsumption will lead to a substantial decrease in 2011.Energy consumption and Greenhouse Gas emissionsEnergy consumption*(GJ/tons)(Production in tons)5.00 500,0004.00400,0000.070.050.043.00300,0002.572.632.55Production volume2.00200,000Gas (fossil fuel)Renewable Energy1.000.010.020.02100,000Electric power1.161.111.12Oil (fossil fuel)02008200920100* Figures have been restated following a more detailed calculation for all reported years.Our primary production processes (extrusion and injection-moulding) use electricity. Gas-fi red kilns areused in the production of clay products, predominantly at sites in the UK. Overall usage of oil is limitedmainly to heating at some facilities.In 2010 we saw an increase of production volumes leading to a raise of total energy consumption.As a result of active energy management programmes however, we improved energy effi ciency,measured as energy consumption per ton production.In Wavin’s product mix there is a clear trend towards lightweight multilayer products with a recycled innerlayer. These require more complex production processes that in itself have a negative effect on energyeffi ciency. Seen from a cradle to cradle perspective, the benefi ts of these multilayer products are adecreased usage of virgin material and an increase of the use of recycled materials.
