of emissions. The majority of this is generated in the produc-

tion of raw materials in the upstream supply chains, and the
relatively small proportion in the downstream transport and
in the disposal of machines.
The emissions in the mobility category are made up of direct
emissions from the combustion of fuels on the one hand,
and indirect emissions from commuting and business transport
on the other. With a total of 1 295 t CO2eq, the mobility
category accounts for around 6% of the footprint.
The goods category contributes 1 609 t CO2eq to the footprint
and includes the auxiliary materials and consumables in production
in Wolfhausen as well as the commercial products

of the waste produced at the Wolfhausen plant.
The use phase of our products causes an estimated 200 000 t

and provision of electricity and water for the operation
of Schulthess machines and are largely dependent
on whether the electricity comes from renewable or fossil
sources. The use phase is not part of the system under consideration.

The energy category (262 t CO2eq) includes on the one hand
the direct emissions from the combustion of regular fuels
(182 t CO2eq), and on the other hand the upstream indirect
