General comment Acosorb AcoSpray is a circular directly sprayed, seamless acoustical finish. The acoustical properties are impressive, sprayed in one phase up to 35mm also a super-fast application.
Scope and type:
The EPD type is Cradle-to-Grave. Data for this EPD is supplied by AcoSorb, EcoInvent 3.4 data is
used as reference and calculation are performed in SimaPro 8.5.2.. All inventory data is available in
the LCA project report.
AcoSorb is produced in The Netherlands. The scope of the study includes application in The
Netherlands. End of life scenario is 95% incineration and 5% landfill in The Netherlands.
Representativeness:
Not applicable as this is an environmental product declaration for a specific product from a specific
manufacturer.
Calculation rules:
Cut off rules
There are no indications that relevant data is not included in the scope of the study. The energy used
for removal C1 has not been included due to insignificance. Energy related to the production of the
glue has not been included due to insignificance.
Data quality
Specific data was collected from AcoSorb through a questionnaire, including information about
logistics data e.g. transport, production information and end-of-life scenario's.
Data collection period
The data collection period for specific data was the year 2016.
Allocations
The energy related to installation A5 has been allocated by deternining the time of installation per
functional unit and multiplying by the energy consumption of the machine. Energy related to the
production of the cellulose fibers has been determined by the supplier.
Scenarios and additional technical information:
Processes in A1-A3 include the production and transport of all materials. There are no processes
included in A3, components are mixed onsite and processes for this step are included in A5. No
maintenance is required for AcoSorb products and therefore no impact in phase B is calculated. In
the end of life phase 95% of the material will be incinerated with energy recovery and 5% will end up
in landfill.
Declaration of SVHC:
None of the substances contained in the product are listed in the fiCandidate List of Substances of
Very High Concern for authorisationfl, or they do not exceed the threshold with the European
Chemicals Agency.
