| Technical purpose of product or process | Product: A nailclip is a fastener used to neatly and securely route cables or pipes along walls or skirting boards. It consists of a plastic clip with a pre-mounted nail. The clip is placed over the cable and then secured to the wall or wood with the nail. Production (A1-A3): The injection molding process is a production technique for manufacturing plastic parts. Plastic granulate is first heated until it melts, after which the liquid material is injected into a closed mold under high pressure. The choice of material is crucial and depends on the required properties of the product. The mold determines the shape of the final product. After cooling, the plastic solidifies, and the molded product is removed from the mold. This process is fast, precise, and suitable for producing large quantities of identical products with complex shapes. Reference service life: 25+ years |
| General comment on data set | A nailclip is a fastener used to neatly and securely route cables or pipes along walls or skirting boards. It consists of a plastic clip with a pre-mounted nail. The clip is placed over the cable and then secured to the wall or wood with the nail.Scope and type: The LCA for the nailclip includes modules A1-A3, C and D. All major steps of the extraction of raw materials, production and the end-of-life of the product are included in the scope of the study. This EPD is for a nailclip, a fastener used to neatly and securely route cables or pipes along walls or skirting boards. The nailclip is produced by Technique Plastique. The main production location is Nederweert, The Netherlands. The end-of-life scenario is according to the standard NMD waste processing for plastics (20% landfill and 80% incineration) and for metal (5% landfill, 5% incineration and 90% recycling). The LCA is produced with SimaPro v10 software and background database is Ecoinvent 3.9.1.Representativeness: The EPD is representative for a nailclip, a fastener used to neatly and securely route cables or pipes along walls or skirting boards which is manufactured in Nederweert, The Netherlands.Calculation rules: Data quality requirements follow EN15804+A2:2019. Data is of reference period 2025, representing data for the production of one nailclip. Processes used in the background modelling are referring to Ecoinvent 3.9.1. The technological and geographical coverage reflects the physical reality as far as possible. Data quality is assessed as good on average and adequate to the goal and scope of the study. Cut-off criteria and allocation procedures: The waste treatment of the packaging is not included. No other cut-offs or allocation procedures were intentionally applied to inputs and outputs within the system boundaries in the models.Scenarios and additional technical information The product stage, A1-A3, includes the extraction and processing of raw materials for the product and the packaging, their transportation to the production site by truck and ship. Electricity consumption is modelled using primary data.Declaration of SVHC: No substances that are listed in the latest “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisation” are included in the product that exceed the limit for registration.More information: https://t-plastique.com/ |
