Transportation - EmissionBest Practice
adidas-Salomon AG, GTC Scheinfeld, Germany
Production of high quality footballs
Change of supplier for sheet materials and purchased dimension
Effect:
• Reduction of specific waste (cutting scrap) from 30% to 0%
• Reduction of total transport distance 80% -> corresponding reduction of emissions
Impact EmissionExample: Supply of electrical energy
