Resource Cleansheet

Provide full transparency on environmental impact and costs for products

What it is

Resource Cleansheet helps to balance cost pressure with their environmental goals. Resource Cleansheet adds a CO2 footprint module​ to our well- established Cleansheetsolution to allow an integrated product optimization along the full value chain and product life cycle

Our fully integrated solution identifies CO2 emission drivers down to the product feature level and links them with the corresponding costs. This helps balancing emission versus cost impact​ across the entire product portfolio

Furthermore, we support short- to long-term CO2 abatement scenario planning by monitoring of product cost impact over time including market dynamics, e.g., model rerun in case of commodity price changes

On the product level, Resource Cleansheet supports all stages from identification to scenario planning of cost and CO2​ initiatives

How it works

Resource Cleansheet incorporate a CO2 module which is fully integrated into our well established should-cost tool

The Resource Cleansheet implement process: an example of Consumer Electronics industry case

1

Calculate production cost and CO2 footprint per product and for each production process

An injection molded coffee filter plastic part has an annual CO2 footprint of 118 tCO2

3

Deep-dive each lever and calculate the abatement cost

Design optimization results in product cost and CO2 emission reduction of 34 and 43%

4

Summarize the abatement cost of each lever to decide which levers should be implemented

Sequential initiative analysis support strategic decisions to balance product cost and emission targets
