Use advice for data set Scope:
This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is valid for Alpha sectional doors of the type ALU 40. The production facilities are located in Didam (NL). The life cycle assessment is representative for the products introduced in the declaration for the given system boundaries.
System boundary:
Type of the EPD: cradle-to-gate.
The production of the materials (steel, plastics, aluminiums, coating etc.) and also the motor-parts and other electronic components are modelled in A1. The transportation (road and sea) from the suppliers to Alpha deuren is modelled in A2. The assembly of the doors (energy use) and the packaging (including the production and transportation of the packaging materials) is modelled in A3. The generation of electricity and heat is modelled in A3. For the option coating is also the coatingprocesses and the emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds to air modelled in A3.
Production waste from A3 is modelled following the Dutch defaults for waste scenario’s (see 4.1.3). This modelling results in components for reuse, materials for recycling.
According to EN 15804 (CEN 2013) the end-of-life system boundary of the construction product system is set where outputs of the system under study, e.g. materials, products or construction elements, have reached the end-of-waste state. Therefore, waste processing of the material flows (e.g. undergoing recovery or recycling processes) during any module of the product system (e.g. during the production stage, use stage or end-of-life stage) are included up to the system boundary of the respective module.
For all phases A1-A3 also processing up to the end-of-waste state or disposal of final residues not leaving the factory gate with the product, are included.
For the option paint, there are materials for energy recovery. Waste of the paint will combusted and energy will be recovered in an incineration plant. This is modelled in module A3. |
