| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to AGEPAN® Wood Fibreboards manufactured in the following plant of the Sonae Arauco group: Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH Meppen Plant Grecostrasse 1 49716 Meppen Germany The production volume of this plant covers 100 % of the total production of AGEPAN® Wood Fibreboards by Sonae Arauco group. System boundary: Type of the EPD: cradle-to-gate with modules C1 to C4 and module D (A1-A3, C and D) Modules A1 – A3 of the production stage cover the manufacturing of the products, including raw material extraction and processing, energy generation, the production of ancillary products and packaging materials, transport, as well as all waste treatment processes. Eventual benefits of recycling or energy recovery are neglected. The resource aspects of wood were inventoried via material inherent properties such as resource extraction of CO2 from the atmosphere and the lower heating value as the use of renewable energy. Material inherent properties are subject to co-product allocation as ruled in EN 15804. For the input of post-consumer wood, the carbon stored in wood is inventoried as material inherent property as negative input of stored carbon, expressed in CO2-equivalent, whereas the energy content of wood is inventoried as input of renewable secondary material/fuel (as applicable). The use of secondary wood as a material or fuel input to the product system is inventoried from the end-of-waste status of the recycled wood onward. Module A4 covers the transport of the product from the production site to the construction site by a lorry over a default distance of 460 km. Module A5 covers the transport of the packaging material from the construction site and its disposal. Default end-of-waste states for the packaging materials from the packed products at the construction site are defined in analogy for wastes occurring in modules A1-A3. Eventual further inputs for the installation of the products are not considered due to the broad applicability of the assessed products. The substituted primary fuels recovered energy exported from the product system in Module A5 are declared in Module D; the benefits of recycled packaging are conservatively neglected due to minimal quantities. Module C1 manual deconstruction is assumed. The declared values are thus 0. Module C2 includes the transport of the de-constructed product to a recycling centre by over 50 km. Module C3 covers the preparation of the post-consumer board to become a secondary fuel: the end-of-waste status for recycled wood-based boards is defined as the point where they have been sorted and chipped, ready to be used as secondary fuels. In line with EN 16485, the export of the biogenic carbon stored in the board, expressed in CO2-equivalent is also reported in module C3. Module C4 is not relevant for the assumed end-of-life scenario. The declared values are thus 0. Module D compiles all the benefits and burdens associated with the secondary fuels and exported energy leaving the production system in the modules A5 and C3. Therefore, module D covers the avoided burdens from energy recovered from the waste treatment in module A5 as well as the transports of the obsolete boards to a biomass combustion plant, the combustion process itself and the loads and benefits of the substitution of fossil fuels and/or electricity. Substitution effects in module D are always calculated for the net amount of secondary fuel of the product system in line with EN 16485. |

| General comment on data set | AGEPAN® System Wood Fiberboards are panel-shaped wood-based materials in accordance with EN 316 that are manufactured in a dry process by means of compression under heat of wood fibres with adhesive. AGEPAN® System boards can be blunt edged or profiled. Owing to their various densities and adhesive systems, they can display a variety of material properties: AGEPAN® THD is a wood fibre insulating panel with an asymmetric density profile, manufactured in a dry process. AGEPAN® THD Static is a wood fibre insulation board with an asymmetrical bulk density profile and load-bearing capacities. AGEPAN® DWD boards are permeable wall and roof boards manufactured in dry process with and without tongue and groove profiles. AGEPAN® DWD 600 is a vapour-permeable wood fibre board ideal for sheathing in rear-ventilated facades and a second water-repellent layer in roof and wall. AGEPAN® UDP is another wood fibre insulation board in our construction system for quick and easy working. AGEPAN® TEP is a wood fibre insulation board with an asymmetric density profile and provides good technical values and simple processing. |

| Technology description including background system | The manufacturing of AGEPAN® Wood Fiberboards comprises the following steps: Debarking the logs Chipping the wood to chips of approx. 3 x 3 cm in size Boiling the chips Defibring in the refiner Gluing the fibres with synthetic resin Drying the fibres to an approx. moisture of 4% to 8% Scattering the dried and glued fibre on a forming belt Pressing the fibre mat in a continuous hot press under high pressure Cooling Staking for stabilization Cooling Staking and Packing A process diagram is presented below. Note: Sanding stage is represented in the diagram since it exists in the plant, but is not used currently for AGEPAN fiberboards production The production site is certified according to the following standards: EN ISO 9001:2015; ISO 45001:2018; EN ISO 50001:2018. Additionally, all range includes CE marked products, and PEFC™ and FSC® certified products can be made available on request. Technical data: Values cover the range of uncoated AGEPAN® Wood Fiberboards produced by Sonae Arauco, S.A. (see tables below). Declared unit: The declared unit for the LCA is 1 m3 of AGEPAN® Wood Fibreboard. The declared unit represents an average product, calculated as the weighted average of the production volumes of the different AGEPAN® Wood Fibreboard products in 2020. |
