| Use advice for data set | Scope: The manufacturer declaration applies to a group of products with a maximum total pile weight of 510 g/m2. The carpet is woven at the fletco manufacturing site in Bording, Denmark. Dyeing and backing of the carpet is carried out externally The declaration is only valid in conjunction with a valid GUT-PRODIS license of the specific product. LCA results for products of the same construction but with a maximum total pile weight of 400 g/m2 can be taken from the corresponding tables of the annexe. Specific data for every product within the declared group of products in relation to its total pile weight can be calculated by using equation 1 given in the annexe (see annexe chapter: 'General Information on the annexe'). System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle-to-gate with options, modules C1-C4, module D, and additional modules A4, A5, B1, B2. System boundaries of modules A, B, C, D: Modules C3, C4 and D are indicated separately for three end-of-life scenarios: 0 - landfill disposal 1 - municipal waste incineration 2 - recovery in a cement plant A1-A3 Production: Energy supply and production of the basic material, processing of secondary material, auxiliary material, transport of the material to the manufacturing site, emissions, waste water treatment, packaging material and waste processing up to the landfill disposal of residual waste (except radioactive waste). Benefits for generated electricity and steam due to the incineration of production waste are aggregated. A4 Transport: Transport of the packed textile floor covering from factory gate to the place of installation. A5 Installation: Installation of the textile floor covering, processing of installation waste and packaging waste up to the landfill disposal of residual waste (except radioactive waste), the production of the amount of carpet that occurs as installation waste including its transport to the place of installation. Generated electricity and steam due to the incineration of waste are listed in the result table as exported energy. Preparation of the floor and auxiliary materials (adhesives, fixing agents, PET connectors) are beyond the system boundaries and not taken into account. B1 Use: Indoor emissions during the use stage. After the first year, no product-related Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions are relevant due to known VOC decay curves of the product. B2 Maintenance: Cleaning of the textile floor covering for a period of 1 year: Vacuum cleaning – electricity supply Wet cleaning – electricity, water consumption, production of the cleaning agent, waste water treatment. The declared values in this module have to be multiplied by the assumed service life of the floor covering in the building in question. B3 - B5: The modules are not relevant within the assumed reference service life of 10 years. B6 - B7: No energy and water input are required for the operation of the carpet in the use stage. The modules are not relevant and not declared. C1 De-construction: The floor covering is de-constructed manually and no additional environmental impact is caused. C2 Transport: Transport of the carpet waste to a landfill, to the municipal waste incineration plant (MWI) or to the waste collection facility for recycling. C3 Waste processing: C3: Landfill disposal needs no waste processing. C3-1: Impact from waste incineration (plant with R1>0.6), generated electricity and steam are listed in the result table as exported energy. C3-2: Collection of the carpet waste for recovery in the cement industry, waste processing (granulating), transport to the cement plant, emissions from the incineration. C4 Disposal: C4: Impact from landfill disposal, C4-1: The carpet waste leaves the system in module C3-2, C4-2: The pre-processed carpet waste leaves the system in module C3-3. D Recycling potential: Calculated benefits result from materials exclusive secondary materials (net materials). D: Benefits for generated energy due to landfill disposal of carpet waste at the end of life, D-1: Benefits for generated energy due to incineration of carpet waste at the end-of-life (incineration plant with R1 > 0.6), D-2: Benefits for saved fossil energy and saved inorganic material due to recovery of the carpet in a cement plant. D-3: Benefits for generated energy due to incineration of packaging and installation waste (incineration plant with R1 > 0.6), | ||

| General comment on data set | Flat woven carpet tiles having a pile material of polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) and a TEXtile backing. The declaration applies to a group of products with amaximum total pile weight of 510 g/m2. The recycled content out of total weight amounts to a minimum 16 %. The surface of the carpet is dyed using aqueous dyeing methods. LCA results for products with a maximum total pile weight of 400 g/m2 can be taken from the corresponding tables of the annexe. Results for specific products with any other total pile weight can be calculated by using equation 1 given in the annexe (see annexe chapter: 'General Information on the annexe'). | ||
