The following logic can be used in order to specify the main production method to a more default production method.

Default production methods that are left outside of the current scope are cutting, folding and winding since these production methods since they are much less energy intensive than heating processes.

We always advise users to check with their suppliers if the suggested production method and energy consumption and heat corresponds with the specific product.
