Everything you buy (workshop materials, appliances for the bar, cartridges for your printer, new dimmer racks etc) has a carbon life-cycle. Carbon (or greenhouse gas) emissions are a result of:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sourcing or producing materials<\/p>\n
\u2022 Manufacturing<\/p>\n
\u2022 Packaging and transport.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Removal at end of life<\/p>\n
\u2022 Disposal<\/p>\n
In the past this has been a linear process, with new materials quickly ending up in landfill. In the context of the climate emergency we need to shift to a circular process. Our waste should become our material source.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To move towards circularity:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Buy quality items that are built to last (check warranties and guarantees).<\/p>\n \u2022 Buy things that have a high recycled content<\/p>\n \u2022 Buy everything with end of life in mind. Is it recyclable? Will the manufacturer take it back?<\/p>\n \u2022 Consider rental options<\/p>\n \u2022 Maintain things so they last longer<\/p>\n \u2022 Recycle items appropriately if they can\u2019t be reused<\/p>\n If you are unsure about whether it is best to replace or keep, follow these simple rules:<\/p>\n \u2022 For items that do not consume electricity: Make them last as long as possible. Care for them, then up-cycle or recycle when you no longer need them.<\/p>\n \u2022 For electrical items that get used sparingly or that have only a short service life (e.g. computers, TVs, monitors, consumer electronics): Make them last as long as possible. Repair parts, if you can. When purchasing replacements, check warranties and guarantees. It pays to buy good quality replacements (both from a carbon and cost perspective). Purchase computers with slightly higher specifications which are more likely to last longer.<\/p>\n \u2022 Electrical items that get used intensively over a long period (fridges, light bulbs, dishwashers, coffee machines): Replace at the end of their recommended service life. Maintain them well in the meantime. If these items look a bit old and worn, then chances are it\u2019s more carbon efficient to replace them now.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.theatregreenbook.nl\/sustainableoperations-toolkit\/” button_text=”Back to The Toolkit” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Theatre Green Book OPERATIONS Toolkit – Lifecycle Assessment\u00a0Everything you buy (workshop materials, appliances for the bar, cartridges for your printer, new dimmer racks etc) has a carbon life-cycle.
