Tredegar Film Products was one of three companies to receive an INDEX Innovation award in the new category of Sustainable Management Practice and Process. The award is for Flowertool(TM), a software system developed by Tredegar Film Products in conjunction with and certified by University L'Aquila, Italy, Department of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials. Tredegar Film Products has applied for a patent on this new software system which assesses the eco-efficiency of industrial systems, facilities, and products based on scientifically and technologically validated models and indicators. Flowertool(TM) is based on the already established LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology, and has a "cradle to cradle" oriented structure which provides a "cradle to customer gate" LCA study and includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emission sources.
This system can help businesses determine a current baseline for their business operations, sites, and products. Flowertool(TM) can also help businesses determine sustainability targets and measure and monitor their progress toward those targets. The results provided by Flowertool(TM) allow businesses to have a clearer vision of eco-efficiency and related impact categories of industrial processes, sites, and products.Tredegar Film Products was one of three companies to receive an INDEX Innovation award in the new category of Sustainable Management Practice and Process.
