Enperas at Smart Manufacturing Conference - SMAFACC'25 at the Thor Park Community in Genk, Belgium

Enperas - Vandersanden - At SMAFACC in Genk Belgium

The Enperas Team Luc Plancke (CEO & Founder), along with Maria Victória Pereira da Luz (LCA Engineer) and Wim Thewissen (Group Manager Sustainability) from Enperas' customer - Vandersanden, will be participating in the Smart Manufacturing Conference - SMAFACC'25, held at Thor Park Community in Genk, Belgium, on November 20th.

Our team with Wim, will present an insightful Presentation on Case "Vandersanden - the science of sustainability through the LCA Quadrant Tool from enperas".

We invite you to our presentation:

🕒 Time & Place: Thor Park Genk, Hall 9, Break Out Room 3:  Grûm at 14:30 Belgian Time. 

 

What can you expect during a presentation case?

Manufacturers are leveraging the science of sustainability through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to assess their environmental footprint from the design phase onward. This method helps identify the impact of each material used, pinpoint the highest impact categories, and utilize emissions data to drive Ecodesign, smart and sustainable manufacturing. 

Did you know that approximately 80% of environmental impact comes from the production stage and raw materials? 

During our presentation, you'll learn how our customer, Wim from Vandersanden, a leading brick producer, achieved significant environmental objectives. To reduce their ecological footprint, Vandersanden invested in new technology for the production of carbon-negative bricks. To assess the environmental impact of this innovation in detail, Vandersanden integrated Enperas' LCA Quadrant Tool, they calculated their LCA from Cradle-to-Gate across 19 environmental impact categories, resulting in a 15% reduction in their Environmental Cost Indicator (ECI) by the end of 2023 (compared to 2020) and compliance with Dutch LCA regulations. 

  • We will showcase ECI and LCA driving factors, and how they integrate LCA towards net zero goals. 
  • How to switch easily to correct calculations according to relevant regulations in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany and across Europe (EN15804, B-EPD, NMD/SBK). 


After the use case we will lead you how Enperas' LCA Quadrant Tool results are used by leading manufacturing companies including: 
 

  • How you can self-calculate the LCA and environmental footprint tailored to your target country and its regulations. 
  • How you can identify key LCA stages and highest impact categories. 
  • How to use LCA results to aid in Ecodesign.  
  • How to model manufacturing materials and get ready for tenders & specials, TENNET, Enedis and Ikea and others.  
  • How to utilise results of LCA and publish EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) in major EU EPD program countries. 
  • How to demonstrate LCA results in CSRD and sustainability Reporting.  
  • Which Standards are being integrated.
