How can I test the tool?
To test the tool, please contact us via email:
edit@ineditinnova.com. With a small initial meeting,
inèdit will give a demonstration which explains the basic features and can provide a user to
visualize more calmly at a later date.
Why is it important to calculate the environmental impacts, such as the carbon footprint, of
my products?
The regulatory, economic and social frameworks in which companies work are pushing more
and more strongly towards the requirement of a more sustainable activity, starting by asking
for more information on the environmental impacts they generate. At the product level, these
demands can come, for example, from the market, such as the requirements of some sectors to
have EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) or standards that point towards the inclusion of
environmental information in the products themselves.
What advantages does the tool have over a conventional environmental calculation?
With this tool you will be able to access the visualization of results or modification of data in
an automatic, intuitive and personalized way at any time. The information centralized on the
tool’s server avoids having to work with local files, avoiding problems with multiple versions
and obsolete files. In addition, once the tool has been customized with the structure of your
company, you will be able to be autonomous in the introduction of your own data.
What advantages does èdit have over other tools on the market?
Èdit is a tool created and developed by
inèdit, designed to adapt fully to the needs of each
organization. The fact that it is a self-authored tool allows you to speed up any updates and
customization, achieving careful results in line with the particularities of your activity.
Can I include the information of all my products?
As it is a 100% customizable tool, you can organize the information as you have organized the
information internally, with the specifications of each type of product or activity.
Can I certify the results with EPD or ISO 14067?
The tool is ready and has already passed several certifications such as EPD calculation through
the tool or Product Carbon Footprint (ISO 14067). Apart from the quantitative data that can be
verified with the tool, a report must be generated independently that meets the requirements
of the standard in question and where the results are analysed and the qualitative information of
the company is included.
What information do I need to calculate the impact of my company’s products?
For the environmental calculation of a product it is necessary to include information from all
stages of the life cycle: type and origin of materials, manufacturing consumption, packaging
and distribution, use and end of life. This information may not always be available or may require
initial hypotheses. For this reason, in the first year, inèdit’s support goes beyond setting up the
tool, we also help to complement these gaps with reliable bibliographic data.
Will the tool be accessible to different people in the organization?
Yes, all those to whom the organization wants to give access. There are three types of user, a
supervisor user who can view and modify information for the entire organization, a regular user
who can edit information only for the products or activities they are given permission to edit,
and a query user who has access only to view the results of their products. This last user can be
useful for marketing or communication purposes.
How is the data upload done?
There are two options for data upload and they can be combined. The first is the manual
introduction of the information into the online application, and the second is templates in
spreadsheet format (.xlsx) that allow the information to be uploaded in a more massive way.
Will I have updated impact factors differentiated by country?
Yes, the impact factors are verifiable and have the regionalization associated with the
organization. In case of verification, the impact factors will be shared with the auditor.
What types of results can I obtain?
Èdit allows you to obtain the results organized in different ways to analyse the most appropriate
information at all times: results by product, product comparison and product aggregation. This
last option allows you to choose the quantity of each product in order to obtain results for total
production or sales, for example.
Can I download the results?
Yes, èdit allows you to download all the results in spreadsheet format, so that you can organize
and present them as you wish.
