Our team helped Lantal achieve this by carrying out a life cycle assessment and uncovering a surprising key learning – it was all about weight of the carpet. Even though the new production process resulted in a massive reduction in water usage and carbon emissions, the biggest impact lay within the carpet's usage phase. It turned out that a 35% reduction in weight meant 35% less CO\u003Csub>2\u003C\u002Fsub> emissions across the carpet's life cycle. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>There are also some \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zuehlke.com\u002Fen\u002Finsights\u002Fai-in-retail-practical-use-cases-and-implementation-tips\" target=\"_blank\">promising data and AI use cases in retail\u003C\u002Fa> as harnessing these technologies for sustainability enables businesses to pioneer innovative strategies.
