Programmes and Projects: ENER-Plast: Instruments for reducing the Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions of the polymer industry and supply chain

Website: www.enerplast.eu

ENER-Plast is a European Community funded project, supported by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme (contract no. EIE/07/052/SI2.466695).

ENER-Plast is a 3-year EU-funded project to help the European polymer industry and its supply chains increase their energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact. The web-based tools and resources include:

• Industry specific Carbon Impact Calculator
• Best Practice Guides for Energy Efficiency
• Directory of Energy Efficient Equipment & Products
• European Energy and Environmental Legislation Guide

Across Europe businesses have been hit hard by the rises in energy costs and the industry is now facing difficult choices as how to mitigate these costs. ENER-Plast will present a systematic approach to energy management and climate change and cuts through the many complexities to help companies understand and manage their energy consumption.

The ENER-Plast tools and resources will lead a company through designing a product and purchasing equipment to manufacturing, whilst addressing the energy efficiency at each stage when developing new, or redesigning existing products or component parts. ENER-Plast will go beyond energy management, enabling organisations to consider both their operations and revenue in the context of climate change. The results will be cost savings, clarity of responses to existing and pending legislation, operational improvements, corporate reputation and brand enhancement.

Factsheets, software applications, case studies and best practice guides will be made available through the ENER-Plast website. Register on the website to make full use of the resources available.
