This document is translated from the German Environmental Product Declaration into English. It is based on the German original version EPD-20140056-PON-IBA1-DE. The verifier has no influence on the quality of the translation. System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle to Gate (with options). In accordance with /EN 15804/, the following modules were taken into consideration: Product stage: Module A1 – A3 This module takes into consideration the extraction and processing of raw materials and all relevant upstream chains, including the supply of electricity, steam and heat from primary energy raw materials and their extraction, refining and transport plus necessary procurement transport to the factory gate, and the manufacture of packaging. The profile frame, which is an accessory in the assortment, is not a part of the examined product system. Installation stage: Modules A4 and A5 These modules cover the average distribution route of the product system from the factory gate to the construction site and the disposal of product packaging from the site. Disposal Stage: Modules C2 and C3 The disposal transport of the product system at End-of-Life and the energy recovery of the product are considered in these modules. Credits: Module D The value streams arising from the disposal processes in Modules A5 and C3 are shown in this module. The credits come only from the energy recovery processes for packaging and product disposal. Reference area The LCA was generated for the reference area Germany. In other words, the LCA took into consideration the production processes under these boundary conditions along with preliminary stages such as the provision of electricity or energy sources that are relevant to Germany. |

| Technology description including background system | A polyester-based multi-bar warp knotted textile that serves as the basic material is produced in widths of 320 to 520 cm. The textiles go through several finishing processes that have been specially adapted for the product's later purpose. The raw fabric is first washed, thermoset and pre-fitted. Finally, it is coated on both surfaces. At this point the material properties are defined anew. The product is subject to continuous in-house quality monitoring during the entire manufacturing process. Technical data: Technical data include the following parameters: Declared unit: The declared unit is one square meter (1 m²) of plastic-coated polyester textile DESCOR® PREMIUM, including packaging materials. |
