2. Comparative environmental impact date
(water Consumption)
The comparative position of LifeNet against polyester and
polyethylene nets is shown in the graph below. This is an
indicator of the sum, in litres, of all the water used during the
life cycle of the products to achieve the function as defined
in the Life Cycle Assessment.
Conclusion: The distribution and usage of LifeNet results in
less water usage than both polyester and polyethylene nets.
