Logistics specialist Damco is now offering customers an online calculation of carbon dioxide emissions.

This tool can be used to determine a firm's carbon footprint, allowing it to see how it performs against statutory requirements. The new online tool is available online at: myDamco, a browser-based customer interface with 2702 Damco.

This service enables Damco customers to track CO2 emissions for products in transit. The firm claims that reducing the environmental profile of the supply chain can reduce logistics cost and emissions by up to 15%. Online visibility of carbon emissions can enable a firm to take earlier corrective action if operations do not match carbon reduction and efficiency goals, according to Damco.

  • The Path to Climate-Neutral Road Construction
    October 1, 2023
    Machine manufacturers and construction companies around the globe are currently searching for ways to achieve the goal of climate-neutral construction. The challenge here is to successively reduce emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases (summarized to CO2 equivalents: CO2e) around the world to zero over the coming decades. In the road construction sector, this transformation is inextricably linked to the improvement and further development of production and working processes. In the future, machines and construction materials will also be assessed based on the climate-harmful emissions arising from their production and use. However, the focus should not be on individual machines, but on the entire process leading up to the finished product – a road. Ultimately, the decisive factor is the emissions generated per kilometer of newly built or rehabilitated road – the “CO2e per work done”.

    Sustainability and the highways sector’s image issue were two major themes at the 10th symposium of the European Asphalt Paving Association in Paris. Margo Cole reports. Sustainability was explicit or implicit in many presentations during EAPA’s biennial symposium for the paving supply chain. The industry feels that sustainability is its home territory, thanks to an already good – and getting even better - record of recycling of materials. But do buyers and users of roads realise that the design and contrac
