Thanks to the implementation of the “CONAI LCC Platform”, it is possible to monitor the environmental performance of RICREA and of the various supply chain consortia, according to a methodology that includes indicators structured on 5 levels:
- Physical-economic indicators, referring to the boundaries of CONAI management and independent management
- Physical-economic indicators referring to the borders after the expansion of the system
- Environmental benefits from avoided impacts
- Economic aggregation in homogeneous categories
- Specific indicators of the supply chain
According to the analysis of the preliminary data provided by RICREA for the year 2021, the following environmental benefits were achieved*:
- 450,000 tons of raw material savings
- 6,625 TJ of primary energy savings thanks to the recycling of steel packaging
