Life Cycle Thinking approach considers all life cycle phases (raw materials production, packaging production, transports, use phase and end of life) for an environmental analysis of a product or process.
Life cycle Assessment is an accounting methodology of environmental impacts generated by a product or process by its life cycle.
Studio LCE, Life Cycle Engineering Research & Consulting, is an
Engineering Studio based in Turin (headquarters) and Venice (Italy)
operating in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), sustainable
development tools and eco-design with a considerable experience in research & consultancy services
and education programs.

From 2004, Barilla G. e R. Fratelli S.p.A. entrusted
Life Cycle Engineering for the management of the
environmental issue of processes and products by means
of the Life Cycle Thinking Approach.

DATA SOURCES
• primary data have been collected for all the main phases of the system:• durum wheat cultivation• semolina production (milling phase)• pasta production (3 Italians plants)• primary box production• recycled and virgin paperboard production used for the primary pack
• secondary data have been used for:• the production of the fertilisers• transport and energy use• end of life of primary pack• cooking phase
they are mainly
referred to 2008
they come from
the most
important LCA
databases such
as Boustead,
Ecoinvent, etc

GER – MJ per 500 g of pasta
ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Whole consumption is about 17 MJ per 500 g of pasta; 10 if the cooking phase is not considered.
These data don’t take into account the feedstock of the durum wheat

GWP – CARBON FOOTPRINT
The carbon footprint is about Whole consumption is about 1,3 kg of CO2 per 500 g of pasta; 0,8 if the cooking
phase is not considered.
About 0,6 kg are sequestered by the wheat during the growing phase

WATER CONSUMPTION
The production chain consume 2,4 litres per 0,5 kg of pasta: about the half of the consumer’s consumption.

WATER FOOTPRINT
As a preliminary estimation, we estimated also the water footprint of the pasta chain.
According the specific protocol available on www.waterfootprint.org, the calculation included:• the process water (blue water)• the evapotraspiration water (green water) which is the most important figure.

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
As a preliminary estimation, we estimated also the ecological footprint of the pasta’s chain.
According to the specific protocol available on www.footprinetwork.org, the calculation included:• the crop land due to the durum wheat cultivation;
• the energy land due to the absorption of the CO2 generated by the chain;
• the forest needed for the production of the virgin paperboard used for the primary pack.

3 –CONCLUSIONS
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
• Agricultural’s side is the most important in terms of environmental loads.
Fertilizers must be controlled
• The consumers should be involved by the environmental communication
for a “responsible use” of the products.
• Barilla is joining the EPD™ system. In the next weeks an open consultation
on Product Category Rules will be launched
