ORSING’s
Life Cycle Assessment
Clarification to below tables
Material: We are using Green PE a fossil-free biobased polyethylene produced from renewable sugarcane. Lower reduced climate impact on Hygoformic Bio, compared to Aspirator tubes Bio, due to the metal wire.
Production: we have extremely low emissions from our production, because – we only use renewable energy sources from sun, wind and water. – we have reduced water consumption from 10 800 000l/year to 800 00l/year (-92%) by installing heat exchangers on all our production lines.
Delivery: Calculated on an average customer, with >90% in Europe. Sales unit packings and outer cartons, included in delivery.
Use: No impact in the use phase
End of Life: To be burned, as medical device products in contact with blood and saliva.
Aspirator tubes Bio:
72 % lower climate impact compared to the corresponding fossil Orsing product.
– Cradle to Grave
– Carbon footprint based on GWP-total (incl. biogenic emissions and land use
