Minimizing the environmental footprint from pulp and paper manufacturing requires
understanding the interactions between various parameters. There are a number of releases to the environment associated with manufacturing, recycling, and disposing of paper products. When a company explores ways to minimize one of these releases, it may find that other types of environmental releases are minimized at the same |
time (co-benefits), or it may find that other types of environmental releases become larger (trade-offs). Environmental decisions therefore become something of a balancing act, seeking to maximize co-benefits while minimizing trade-offs. The EFCT will help you understand these sometimes complex interactions that become the scientific backbone of decisions related to minimizing a company's or a facility's environmental footprint. |
