The Water Footprint of Wine Production in Portugal: A Case Study on Vinho Verde
Leandro Adélcio Batista de Pina; Ana Cláudia Dias; Belmira Neto; Luís Arroja; Paula QuinteiroThe water footprint (WF) of a product is an indicator of the consumptive use of freshwater resources along the product life cycle. Water scarcity is recognised to be a large global problem. Therefore the calculation of the WF of agro-industrial products is important as they are widely known as having a significant footprint on water resources. The objective of this study was to calculate the WF of a very speci...
Selecting Industrial Ecology tools: strengths and weaknesses for use in a decis...
Belmira Neto; Carolien Kroeze; Leen Hordijk; Carlos CostaThis study gives an overview of selected Industrial Ecology (IE) tools in current use by industry and that could be used to assess the environmental performance. The tools selected are considered to be useful for a decision support tool (DST) that takes a company perspective, while considering environmental and economic aspects on the decision-making process. We define criteria for a first selection of IE tool...

Belmira Neto; Carolien Kroeze; Leen Hordijk; Carlos CostaThis study describes a model (MIKADO) to analyse options to reduce the environmental impact of aluminium die casting. This model will take a company perspective, so that it can be used as a decision-support tool for the environmental management of a plant. MIKADO can be used to perform scenario analyses to analyse the impact on the environment of different strategies, while taking into account both economical a...
Strategies to Reduce the Environmental Impact of an Aluminium Pressure Die Cast...
Belmira Neto; Carolien Kroeze; Leen Hordijk; Carlos Costa; Tinus PullesThis study explores a model (MIKADO) to analyse scenarios for the reduction of the environmental impact of an aluminium die casting plant. Our model calculates the potential to reduce emissions, and the costs associated with implementation of reduction options. In an earlier paper (Neto et al., accepted) we included the model description and explored the model by applying it to a plant in which no reduction opt...
