“Spreadable” is produced by mixing butter and rapeseed oil. Butter is produced in excess in the market and no significant processes are influenced by a marginal demand. Rapeseed oil production is determined by the market demand and a demand for “spreadable” influences all processes in rapeseed oil production.

The main processes influenced by "spreadable" demand are shown in the figure below.

Figure 1: Market based product chain for "spredable" covering the most important processes in terms of contribution to golbal warmng.Boxes refer to production processes. Names of grey boxes refer to the main product of the processes. Red arrows represent material or energy transfer between two processes; green arrows represent saved material or energy transfer as a result of displacements; green lines represent displacements and red lines represent avoided displacements. Further details can be found in the LCA model.
