DATA SOURCES

• primary data have been collected for all the main phases of the system:• durum wheat cultivation• semolina production (milling phase)• pasta production (3 Italians plants)• primary box production• recycled and virgin paperboard production used for the primary pack

• secondary data have been used for:• the production of the fertilisers• transport and energy use• end of life of primary pack• cooking phase

they are mainly referred

to 2008

they come from the most important LCA databasessuch asBoustead,Ecoinvent, etc

GWP – “CARBON FOOTPRINT”

The “carbon footprint” is about 1,3 kg of CO2 per 500 g of pasta; 0,8 if the cooking phase is not considered.About 0,6 kg are sequestered by the wheat during the growing phase

WATER CONSUMPTION

The production chain consume 2,4 litres per 0,5 kg of pasta: about the half of the consumer’s consumption.

WATER FOOTPRINT

As a preliminary estimation, here are available the calculation of the water footprint of the pasta chain.According the specific protocol available on www.waterfootprint.org, the calculation included:

• the process water (blue water)• the evapotraspiration water (green water) which is the most important figure.

ECOLOGICAL

FOOTPRINT

Always as preliminary estimation, also the ecological footprint is presented.According to the specific protocol available on www.footprinetwork.org, the calculation included:

• the crop land due to the durum wheat cultivation;• the energy land due to the absorption of the CO2 generated by the chain;• the forest needed for the production of the virgin paperboard used for the primary pack.

a 3 –CONCLUSIONS

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

• Agricultural’s side is the most important in terms of environmental loads. Fertilizers must be controlled also for GWP

• The consumers should be involved by the environmental communication for a “responsible use” of the products (ex. “use the correct amount of water!”).

• Barilla is joining the EPD™ system. In the next weeks the pre-certified EPD for pasta will be available and the open consultation on Product Category Rules will be launched. More info on www.environdec.com
