1 Methodology description
1.1 Purpose of the study
1.2 Methodology
1.3 Step 1 - Coupling of economic information between sectors and product groups
1.3.1 Assessment of economic importance
1.4 Step 2 - Environmental assessment of product groups
1.4.1 The EIOLCA software
1.4.2 The pros and cons of EIONET-software
1.4.3 Results of step 2
1.4.4 Other product characteristics
1.5 Step 3 – Selection of relevant product groups
1.6 Step 4 – Previous efforts related to sub-sectors
1.7 Step 5 - Selection of areas for future targets
1.8 Step 6 – Assessment of the action potential in relevant sub-sectors
1.9 Discussion of the methodology
1.9.1 Use of information from the United States in the assessment and selection of product groups
1.9.2 No inclusion of final use and disposal
1.9.3 The level of detail in the environmental assessment is not satisfactory
1.9.4 Lack of detail on the product level
    
2 Sources for development of the model

2.1.1 eiolca.net
2.2 Information from Statistics Denmark
2.2.1 Statistics of Goods
2.2.2 Statistics of Foreign Trade
2.2.3 CPA-nomenclature
2.2.4 Statistics of Raw Materials
2.3 Sources describing the actions until now
2.4 Aspects of sustainability
2.5 Other sources
2.6 Relations between the different sources of information

3.1 Product group 25: Salt, earth and stone
3.2 Product group 27: Mineral fuels
3.3 Product group 28: Inorganic chemicals
3.4 Product group 29: Organic chemicals
3.5 Product group 31: Fertilizers
3.6 Product group 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
3.7 Product group 40: Rubber and rubber ware
3.8 Product group 68: Goods of stone, gypsum etc.
3.9 Product group 72: Iron and steel
3.10 Product group 73 Articles of iron and steel

4.1.12 76: Aluminium and articles thereof
4.1.13 83: Miscellaneous articles of base metal
4.1.14 86: Railway rolling stock and signalling equipment
4.2 Types of action
4.2.1 Sector-oriented action targeting manufacturing companies, which until now have not been subject to environmental action
4.2.2 Supplementary sector-oriented action with relation to on-going activities
4.2.3 Supply chain-of-goods projects laying emphasis on management in international supply chains-of-goods
4.2.4 Supply chain projects laying emphasis on production, use and final disposal involving producers, wholesalers and retailers
4.2.5 Individual projects laying emphasis on utilization and spreading of existing know-how
4.2.6 Inclusion in other product groups
    
5 Further development of the model
5.1 Inclusion of further environmental aspects
