| Use advice for data set | Scope: This Life Cycle Assessment study is carried out for clear laminated glass produced in the manufacturing plants of Trakya Cam Sanayii A.Ş. located in Bulgaria (Targovishte) and Yenişehir (Bursa)/Turkey. This EPD is prepared as a weighted average for a clear laminated glass product group manufactured in these plants. The data collected refers to the year 2014. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was conducted based on the modules A1-A3 (cradle-to-gate). System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle-to-gate The life cycle analysis for laminated glass comprises the boundary stages A1 (extraction, processing, production of raw materials), A2 (Transport to the manufacturer and internal transport) and A3 (Manufacturing operations) modules. These are declared separately. Background data: All relevant background datasets were taken from the /Ecoinvent/ database (version3.3) within /SimaPro/ software. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | For the application and use, the respective national previsions apply. Laminated glass can be incorporated into insulating glass units. Laminated Glass is used in various window types such as curtain walls, ribbon windows, store fronts, punched or architectural windows, overhead glazing, handrails & floors. Laminated glass is used extensively in building and housing products and in the automotive and transport industries. Most building facades and most car windscreens, are made of laminated glass, usually with other technologies also incorporated. Laminated Glass is suitable for applications where the protection of people and goods is required. Regulations for safety glass applications; can be found at /TS 13433/ - Glazing in buildings – Code of practice for safety related to human impact. Laminated glass is used in many applications such as: Curtain walling Windows Overhead glazing Internal partitions Balustrades Doors Interior fittings Shower and bath enclosures Areas of high pedestrian traffic, museums & art galleries where UV protection is necessary Areas where improved acoustic performance is a requirement Passageways with busy pedestrian traffic Store fronts Canopies Banks Hospitals Schools and kindergartens Facilities and sport centers |
