Coated birch plywood
Use advice for data set The environmental impacts considered for the product stage cover the manufacturing of raw materials used in the production as well as packaging materials and other ancillary materials. Also, fuels used by machines, and handling of waste formed in the production processes at the manufacturing facilities are included in this stage. The study also considers the material losses occurring during the manufacturing processes as well as losses during electricity transmission. The factory produces coated and uncoated birch plywood. Ancillary materials and energy used in the factory have been allocated between the coated and uncoated products since they are collected on factory level. The products are packaged using cardboard, pallets and packaging film. The mass of the packaging is 13.4 kg. The electricity used in the factory is nuclear energy. The heat used in the 5 Coated Birch Plywood factory is district heat, which is fuelled by Estply's production waste (wood bark). Other wood waste is collected and mostly sold as input for pellets, shaving. Co-product allocation has not been used. The EOL scenarios are applicable to Europe. Consumption of energy in demolition process is assumed to be negligible. It is assumed that 100 % of the waste is collected as a wood waste and that there is no mass loss during the use of the product. Therefore, the end-of-life product is assumed to have the same weight as the declared product. The product is considered to be 100 % collected for energy recovery. Transportation distance to the closest incineration facilities is assumed to be 50 km and the transportation method is assumed as lorry, which is the most common option. In stage D it is assumed that in the end of life the product is used as a substitution of virgin materials in heat and electricity production. The efficiency of the incineration process in C3 is assumed to be 83%. 11% of the energy goes towards electricity generation and 73% towards heat generation (Eriksson O., et al., 2017).
Technical purpose of product or process ESTPLY DECK is a birch plywood board with phenolic wire mesh pattern surface. The reverse side is smooth phenolic coating. The slip resistant surface makes it a safe choice for various technical flooring applications. ESTPLY FORM is a birch plywood panel coated with smooth phenolic overlay on both sides
General comment on data set Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for the product under investigation. All allocations are done as per the reference standards and the applied PCR. In this study, allocation has been done in the following ways: Data type Allocation Raw materials Allocated by mass or volume Packaging material N/A Ancillary materials Allocated by mass or volume Manufacturing energy and waste Allocated by mass or volume The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory in the reference standard 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.
