LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information The following information describe the scenarios in the different modules of the EPD. This EPD is based on a conservative approach utilizing worst-case scenarios to ensure representativeness across all production sites. Specifically: - Raw material transportation distances to manufacturing facilities reflect the maximum typical distances - Manufacturing process data are derived from the company's production sites and represent the highest consumptions The declared product variant represents the shade with the highest Global Warming Potential (GWP) value, ensuring the EPD covers all product shades conservatively.
The following assumptions have been applied in the life cycle assessment: - A4 (Transport to site): An average distance of 300 km to the site is assumed.
- C1 (De-construction demolition): No significant deconstruction or demolition processes are assumed. - C2 (Transport to waste treatment facility): An average distance of 50 km to the site is assumed. - C3 (Waste processing): The coating is not expected to undergo recycling, material recovery, or energy recovery through incineration. - C4 (Disposal): The coating is assumed to be disposed of via landfilling as the primary end-of-life scenario. - D (Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary): As the coating material proceeds to landfilling without recovery of materials or energy, no downstream benefits are applicable.
