Questions
The Mapping Tool
bull Builds a set of questions (scorecard) based on the type
of project being assessed
ndash Product or Process
ndash Type of Product
bull New or Existing
bull Internally Manufactured andor Toll Manufactured
ndash Application or Use of Product
bull Material Input for Customerrsquos Manufacturing Process
bull End use Installation
bull New application for customer replacing traditional materials
Structured to address impacts relevant to the project
Potential Sections of a Mapping Tool
bull Materials for Manufacturing
ndash Includes raw material transparency data
bull Manufacturing of Product (Includes Toll Manufacture)
bull Use Phase Categories
ndash Intermediate Product for downstream Customersrsquo Process
ndash New application enabled by OC Product
ndash End Use Installable Product
End of Life is addressed as a product design factor
ldquoWas the product developed to specifically include new properties that
enable economic recycling or reuse at end of liferdquo
Example
The Tool takes the developer through a
series of questionshellip Each question has a ldquoHow to Evaluaterdquo section with instructions
and some examples to promote continuity in responses
It is designed assess and educate
Each question also has a section which explains why
it is important in an environment of sustainability
The Tool educates the value of
transparency data from suppliers
bull Identifies data that will improve accuracy of transparency reporting
bull Directs developers to request this data from our suppliers
Example Output of the Mapping Tool
The Goal
Achieve NET SUSTAINABILITY GAINS in all projects
bull Make decisions early in the development process to achieve
intentional Sustainability GAINS and avoid LOSSES
bull Maintain progress on reducing our FOOTPRINT amp growing our
