General comment Glass fibre wallcoverings are finished fabrics produced from glass fibre yarns and glass voluminized (textured) and textured yarns.
Scope and type:
The type of this EPD is "cradle-to-gate" EPD with options. This EPD declares the life cycle analysis
LCA for a specific product.The software GaBi ts is used to perform the LCA. The background
database used is Ecoinvent v3.4.
The following life cycle stages are considered:
- Production
A1- A3 - Raw material supply, transport and manufacturing;
- Installation
A4 - Transport to building site, A5 - Initial installation into building including packaging waste
processing and additional material for installation;
- End-of-life
C2 - Transport to waste processing, C4 - Disposal landfilling;
- Benefits and loads beyond the product system boundary.
Representativeness:
This EPD declares as specific product ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre wallcovering produced by
SAINT-GOBAIN ADFORS CZ s.r.o in two manufacturer™s plants Hodonice, Czech Republic 62%
and Hornstein, Austria 38%. The EPD covers ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre wallcovering. Starting
point for this EPD is ADFORS Novelio® T1013. The other products differ less than 1%.
Calculation rules:
NULL
Scenarios and additional technical information:
A1. Raw materials supply
This module considers the extraction and processing of all raw materials and energy which occur
upstream to the Novelio® manufacturing process, as well as waste processing up to the end-of
waste state.
A2. Transport of raw materials to manufacturer
This includes the transport distance of the raw materials to the manufacturing facility Hodonice,
Czech Republic and Hornstein, Austria via road weighted truck transport: 0,18 kg input material,
average distance of 203 km.
A3. Manufacturing
This module covers the manufacturing of ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre wallcovering and includes all
processes linked to production including packaging and internal transportation. Use of electricity,
fuels and auxiliary materials is taken into account as well.
A4. Transport to the construction site
The average transport distance to the construction site for ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre wallcovering
is 900 km truck transport: product incl. packaging 0,19 kg, 900 km.
A5. Application and use
This module includes the environmental aspects and impacts associated with the application of the
wallpaper. ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre wallcovering is a paintable fibreglass wall covering
applicated with vinyl glue on walls inside buildings. For the installation the vinyl glue 0,2 kg/m² is
declared in this study. As paint the standard is 2 layers of acrylic paint. Paint and cutting losses are
not declared.
C2. Transport to End of life
This module includes transportation distance to landfill truck transport: 0,16 kg, 50 km.
C4. Disposal
As only one end-of-life scenario landfilling is considered for ADFORS Novelio®glass fibre
wallcovering of SAINT-GOBAIN ADFORS CZ s.r.o.
