| Use advice for data set | Scope: This declaration is an environmental product declaration according to ISO 14025 - Type III and EN 15804+A2 describing the environmental performances of 1m of a 3-layer parquet flooring produced by Unilin BV, division Flooring in the production plant in Malaysia - Syarikat Malaysia Wood Industries Sdn. Bhd, 864 - V Syarikat. The product is available with 3 brand names: Quickstep Pergo UnilinIn this EPD the LCA results for HDF or Hevea core products average sales are declared (average mass of 9,55 kg/m and average thickness of 13,25 mm). System boundary: Type of EPD according to EN 15804: cradle to grave. The production stage includes all relevant processes from "cradle to factory gate" within the cut-off rules. This includes for example the extraction and manufacture of all raw materials and their delivery to the production site. The top layer and back layer material is dried in Europe and then transported to Malaysia. the manufacturing of the floorcovering panels from raw material to storage and transport. Packaging is included. The constructional process stage includes the delivery of the parquet floor covering to the point of installation (A4). The transport distance from the plant in Malaysia to the European market via the plant of UNILIN in Wielsbeke and more generally the weighted average distance to worldwide market is considered in this EPD A significant volume is transported directly to Australia from Malaysia without going through Europe. Installation stage (A5) is declared, accounting for electricity consumption, product installation losses, and packaging waste. The use stage (B2) includes the cleaning of the parquet for 1 year. The cleaning frequencies are described in chapter 4. Provision of water, cleaning agent and electricity for the cleaning of the floor covering is considered, incl. wastewater treatment. Product end-of-life (C1-C3) comprises the product dismantling, transportation, and energy recovery in combined heat and power (CHP) plant. In module C3 the release of biogenic CO2 is declared according to EN 16485. Module D includes benefits from all net flows in the end-of-life stage that leave the product boundary system after having passed the end-of-waste state. It is assumed that post-consumer flooring waste is incinerated as waste in a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Loads from material incineration and resulted benefits from recovered energy are declared within module D. | ||
