Environmental performanceThe detailed environmental performance (in terms of use of resources, pollutant emissions andwaste generation) of the Improvac system is presented for the three processes, Upstream, Core andDownstream, by means of the “two doses” and “one kg of pig live weight” functional units.For a restricted set of indicators, such as the Carbon Footprint 13 and the Total Energy Consumption,the environmental burden is also reported in terms of “one kg of carcass after dressing” and “one kgof lean meat” in the Additional Information chapter of this Declaration.Use of resources [consumption of renewable, non-renewable and water resources]Results about the use of resources are split into three sections:1. Renewable resources (Table 1);2. Non-renewable resources (Table 2); and3. Water use (Table 3).13 In this context, the carbon footprint is the overall amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions(such as methane) associated with the Improvac system along its supply-chain, the use phase and the end-of-life. In other words,a carbon footprint is a life cycle assessment with the analysis limited to emissions that have an effect on climate change.12
