Processes producing direct emissions: consumption of
refrigerant gases
Processes producing indirect emissions from energetic
consumption: production and use of fuels, electricity and
heating
Other processes producing indirect emissions: acquisition of
raw materials, inputs and the outputs of the packaging material
production processes, distribution and transports, production
and use of fuels, electricity and heating, the products life end
and the production waste (disposal/recovery), production of
auxiliary products and support function in the production and
sale phases
Exclusions: impacts associated with capital goods have not been
considered (ex. construction of the plant), as well as secondary
distribution (from clients to sale points) and use of the final
consumer
