Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2022
Name
Lunawood Planed Thermowood® D
Use advice for data set This EPD covers the following modules: A1 (raw material supply), A2 (transport) and A3 (manufacture), transportation to client (A4), End-of-Life (C) and supplementary information beyond the life cycle (D).
Technical purpose of product or process Lunawood is a sustainable, durable and dimensionally stable wood material for facades, landscaping and interiors and saunas, all properties achieved without chemicals naturally through Thermal Modification. Lunawood Thermowood does not require surface coatings even in the most challenging climate conditions which makes it a truly sustainable choice throughout its life cycle. This allows the project to have that naturally weathered color, if desired. The letter ‘S’ in ‘Thermo-S’ stands for ‘stability’. Along with appearance, stability is a key property in the end use applications of the products in this treatment class. The letter ‘D’ in ‘Thermo-D’ stands for ‘durability’. Along with appearance, biological durability is a key property in the end use applications of products in this treatment class. Products from the two mills are technically identical and this EPD presents average product on the market. The average EPD data for GWP total – indicator in this EPD differs more than 10 % between the two mills.
General comment on data set Modules A1 is based on inventory of RTS EPD 124_21 over its modules A1 to A3. All the raw material transportation in A2 is inventoried. In module A3 all energy use, including mills’ own heat plants, other material usage, use of machinery in the mills, packing materials, production waste treatment and necessary transportation of goods have been included. Module A4 is inventoried as a weighted average of loads and distances to the Lunawood Ltd. clients. In module C scenario covers machine used for demolition (C1), transportation to the waste treatment (C2), chipping of deconstruction wood for energy wood (97 %) and waste wood (C3) and treatment of waste wood (C4). Module D presents net gains of using deconstruction wood instead of regular woody materials in a CHP plant in Finland.

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.
