Material Efficiency Audit Tools for Companies

We develop and implement material efficiency audit and analysis tools for companies. We aim to create a widely accepted and used audit model for all industrial sectors.

The Material Audit consists of:

• Systematic evaluation of material flows in production (material balance of factory and processes);
• Tracing direct and indirect costs related to material use;
• Identification of improvement points;
• Proposals for concrete actions to achieve these improvements;
• Estimate of benefits, feasibility and savings of the suggested actions;
• Possible recommendations for further examination and activities; and
• Consideration of environmental aspects of production and materials.

The audit methodology has been developed and tested in the following pilot companies with very promising results:

• Oras Oy – production of lever and automatic taps and showers
  
• Uponor Oy – production of plastic pipes for heating, water and energy distribution systems
• Lumon Oy:  production of balcony facade products and glazed terraces
