Project results
The main purpose of the DANTES project was to collect,
exchange and present information and experiences from using different tools
for environmental sustainability. This was done by looking at
existing tools and methods for environmental assessment and
their large-scale application in companies. Sustainability
tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Risk
Assessment (ERA), Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Environmental
Product Declarations (EPD) are assessed and demonstrated by applying
them on different products
and systems in
the partner's organizations.
The main results of the DANTES project
- This public website (www.dantes.info)
- Strategies - The project presents 23 strategies
for different company roles, based on the experiences of
the participating companies. A strategy is a guideline on
how the methods and tools described within DANTES can be
used to find information needed for environmentally
related decisions.
- Tools & Methods - 14 methods are described with
examples and 16 software tools are presented.
- Publications
- 29 public reports covering e.g.
LCA,
ERA,
SPI,
SDS
and
LCC. Published on the site are also 34
Environmental Product Declarations and 9 survey reports.
- Dissemination and demonstration - DANTES results have
been presented in company internal meetings to 1400
persons and to more that 2800 people at external meetings
(trade organizations, university, other companies, etc.).
The website had more than 15 000 visitors the first year
