Our Carbon Footprint Analysis
The Toucan Active Plus is one of the ECA systems that Centrego has developed and is implemented in many countries. Centrego ECA (Electro Chemical Solution) systems are not carbon zero. However the carbon emissions and environmental impact of adopting and using the systems to generate cleaning and disinfection solutions are extremely small if compared to the production and distribution of synthetic chemicals, and the disposal of the plastic containers and packaging. This study quantifies the potential carbon footprint of the Toucan Active Plus disinfectant solution (according to 1 l of undiluted solution), which includes production, packaging, transport and use stage. Due to electricity consumption during use, the use stage and solution production is central in the carbon footprint profile. This means that use of alternative energy sources, or more energy efficiency, could substantially lower the carbon footprint - hence the future 2030 scenario with more renewable electricity sources.
