| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to medium density fibreboards EGGER MDF, produced with an average glue mix at the site in Brilon, Germany. The production conditions in Brilon are comparable to those of the other plants. They correspond to the technologies and standards used in all locations. System boundary: The LCA of the EGGER MDF uncoated includes a cradle-to-gate consideration of the occurring environmental impact with the modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A3, +C, +D). The following life cycle phases are taken into account in the analysis: Module A1– A3 | Production stage The production stage includes the expenses of the raw material supply (logs, scrap wood, sawdust, glue system, auxiliary materials, etc.) as well as the associated transports to the production site in Brilon. Within the plant boundaries, the log yard, wet chip preparation, drying, gluing, spreading, pressing, the sanding line up to the warehouse and shipping are taken into account. Thermal and electrical energy, compressed air and water are provided by central suppliers at the Brilon site. The majority of the electrical energy used is obtained from the German power grid. Both internal wood waste and scrap wood sourced externally are used in the in-house biomass power plant. The system boundary for the scrap wood used in the production is set after sorting and chopping. It is assumed that the end of the waste status has been reached. The system boundary for secondary raw materials according to EN 15804 applies. Module C1 | Dismantling / Demolition Manual dismantling was assumed for the MDF boards. The associated efforts are negligible, which means that no environmental impact from the dismantling of the products is declared. Module C2 | Transport to waste treatment Module C2 includes transport to waste treatment. For this purpose, transport by lorry over a distance of 50 km is used as a representative scenario. Module C3 | Waste processing Chopping after product disassembly is considered in module C3. The wood products and with them the material-inherent properties leave the product system as secondary fuel in module C3. Module C4 | Disposal The scenario used declares the energy recovery of the wood products, which means that no environmental impact from the waste treatment of the products in C4 are to be expected. Module D | Credits and charges beyond the limits of the product system The energy utilisation of the product at the end of its life cycle is described in Module D, including energetic substitution potentials as a European average scenario. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Due to their homogeneous structure, MDF boards can be milled three-dimensionally and then painted or faced with a foil in a membrane press. They are predominantly used coated and as furniture boards. They are used, for example, as deep drawer fronts in the kitchen area. | ||

| General comment on data set | Raw MDF boards are board-type materials for dry furniture and interior design in accordance with EN 622-5:2009, Fibreboards. Specifications. Requirements for dry process boards (MDF). The average glue mix across all board types is considered. The production conditions of the Brilon site are comparable to those of the other plants. They correspond to the technologies and standards used in all locations. | ||

| Technology description including background system | 1. Peeling logs 2. Chipping the wood to produce chips 3. Cooking the chips 4. Defibration in the refiner 5. Drying the fibres to approximately 2 – 3 % residual moisture 6. Application of resin to the fibres 7. Spreading the glue-coated fibres onto a forming belt 8. Compression of the fibre mat in a continuously operating hot press 9. Cutting and trimming the fibre strand into rawboard formats 10. Cooling the rawboards in star coolers 11. Piling into large stacks 12. Sanding the upper and lower sides after the acclimatisation phase All plants where EGGER MDF boards are produced are certified with a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001. Technical data: Egger MDF boards are building products according to the harmonised standard EN 13986 Declared unit: This environmental product declaration is based on a declared unit of 1 m³ medium density fibreboard EGGER MDF uncoated with an average density of 736 kg/m³ and a delivery moisture of approximately 6 %. | ||
