EcoWater report - Baseline eco-efficiency assessment of water use in industrial sectors
No full textDeliverable 4.2 presents results of the work undertaken during the second phase of the Case Study Development progress and the second year of the EcoWater Project, for the four industrial Case Studies: Case Study 5: Textile Industries in Biella Region in Italy Case Study 6: Cogeneration of thermal energy and electricity using water from the Rhine Channel in the Netherlands Case Study 7: Dairy industry in Denmark? Case Study 8: Automotive Industry in Sweden The Baseline Eco efficiency Assessment was based on the Value Chain Mapping of the four Case Studies, presented in Deliverable 4.1. However, the task of calculating the environmental and economic performance indicators proved to be more difficult than expected for all four Case Studies. This was due to the complexity of the pro-cesses in the production chain and the large amount of data required in order to build a representative model of each studied system. Thus, minor or major changes were made to the system boundaries of all four systems, without, however, affecting their meso-level characteristics. The analysis has revealed the environmentally and economically weak stages and actors, providing the basis for the next and final phase of the Case Study Development, the identification and the assessment of innovative technologies.

EcoWater - Results of the 2nd targeted event – Industry links
No full textThis document reports on the event organized by the EcoWater Project in Amsterdam in November 2013, addressing an industrial audience. The key objectives of the EcoWater side event were to present the EcoWater project to the water industry, communicating concepts and discussing results so far, and to develop contacts with industry. Due to the fact that a project alone is rarely able to attract a large external audience, EcoWater sought to develop a significant contribution to, and presence in, a major water technologies fair; the AquaTech Amsterdam Fair was selected for the purpose. The EcoWater project sought to develop three initiatives during AquaTech: 1. A booth in the Dutch pavilion of the fair; 2. AquaStages; 3. A breakfast event. The EcoWater Project has put significant effort into connecting to the world of technology providers, and this outreach activity has been quite successful. The Project team seized the opportunity to connect to a significant number of industry organizations through the Project booth and AquaStages, and these contacts have been kept informed on the subsequent EcoWater developments. The AquaTech Exhibition was held concurrently with the IWW (International Water Week) Conference, where EcoWater participants took the opportunity to present the project; two papers were presented: 1. Eco-efficient Innovation in Industrial Water-service Systems: Analysing Options, Drivers and Barriers by Les Levidow, Palle Lindgaard-Jorgensen, Åsa Nilsson, Sara Alongi Skenhall 2. Meso-level Eco-efficiency Indicators to Assess Technologies in Urban Water-use Sectors by Olga Steiger Overall, the EcoWater Industry Event achieved significant outreach and can be considered successful; it enabled both the dissemination of Project methods and outputs to a wider audience, and the development of new linkages to the industry community. It also provided valuable feedback towards the further enhancement of the EcoWater Tools for improving their usability and applicability in an industrial setting.

The role of the WEEE collection and recycling system setup on environmental, economic and socio-economic performance
No full textThis study compares the legislation and how the collection systems for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) are practically and administratively managed in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The authors have studied legislation on EU and national levels, consulted scientific literature, conducted interviews with key actors within the three systems and analysed environmental impacts using LCA models. One general conclusion is that the countries, despite being geographically close, are quite different both in terms of legislation and in practical implementation and setup of the WEEE collection systems.
