Asphalt mixture
Use advice for data set This EPD covers the cradle to gate with options scope with following modules: A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport), and A3 (Manufacturing) as well as C1 (Deconstruction), C2 (Transport at end-oflife), C3 (Waste processing) and C4 (Disposal). In addition, module D - benefits and loads beyond the system boundary is included.
Technical purpose of product or process Asphalt mix is a bituminous mixture consisting of micro aggregate, fine and coarse minerals and a binder - bitumen. Additives may be added where necessary. The product is used for surfacing roads, streets or squares. The asphalt mix produced is certified and complies with all quality requirements. The product is subject to strict laboratory control. Asphalt is used for roads - main roads, highways, streets, and district roads, squares – playgrounds and airports. Asphalt has many grades and is classified according to the project and its intended use. The requirements for asphalt mixtures used for pavement construction on national roads are set out in the Technical Requirements for Asphalt Mixtures for Motorways TRA ASFALTAS 08.
General comment on data set Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for the product under investigation. In this study, as per EN 15804, allocation is conducted in the following order; 1. Allocation should be avoided. 2. Allocation should be based on physical properties (e.g. mass, volume) when the difference in revenue is small. 3. Allocation should be based on economic values. The allocations in the Ecoinvent 3.8 datasets used in this study follow the Ecoinvent system model ‘Allocation, cut-off, EN15804’. The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory in the EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
