A product has an impact on its environ-
ment during its entire life cycle, from
raw material extraction to treatment at
the end of its life cycle.
Parker-Legris takes an active approach
to continuous improvement and
ecologically sound manufacturing and
relies on Product Life Cycle Analysis
(PLCA) to optimise the environmental
impact of its products.
The evaluation of these environmental

4 Communicate on the EPP (Environmental Product Profile)

This communication tool is common
to all professions and delivers a clear
and reliable message which promotes
ecological progress and permits data
integration into the Life Cycle Analyses
of the equipment.
Parker-Legris proposes EPP covering the
whole new range of “LIQUIfit” products.
This documentation will be developed
for all our new products.
This model relies on the standard ISO/TR
14025 : Environmental labels
and declarations, Type III.
It uses recognized methods and tools :
- Life Cycle Analysis
(according to ISO 14040 standards)
- EIME software (Environmental
Information & Management Explorer)

In an average installation : 70% of the
generated compressed air is used in air

the working process, and the remaining

energy savings, in Europe in compressed
