The studied system boundary was cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4 and module D (A1–A3, A4, A5, C1-C4 and D). Studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A4 Transportation to customer, A5 Installation, C1 Deconstruction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life, C3 Waste processing and C4 Disposal. In addition, the benefits and loads beyond the system boundary of stage D consist of product reuse, recovery and recycling.

General comment
Allocation rules used are made according to ISO14044:2006. Allocation is avoided when possible and when necessary, allocation is made based on physical shares and also avoiding double calculations. Allocation is required if the production process produces more than one product and the flows of materials, energy and waste cannot be separately measured for the studied product. Allocation used in generic data sources follow the requirements of the EN 15804 -standard. It should be noticed that the allocation method ´Allocation cut-off, EN15804’ has been used or Ecoinvent 3.9.1 data, which complies with EN 15804. For the following inputs, allocation was necessary as the information was only measured at factory level. - Electricity consumption, fuels for processing: only measured on factory level. - Production waste flows: only measured on factory level. - Production water consumption: only measured on factory level - Packaging materials: only measured on factory level. According to EN 15804, flows leaving the system at the end-of-waste boundary of the product stage (A1-A3) are allocated as co-products. According to EN 15804, processes that have a very low contribution to the overall revenue may be neglected in co-product allocation. This study follows the cut-off criteria stated in RTS PCR and EN 15804 -standard. This study does not exclude any modules or processes which represent more than 1 % of the emissions of the studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Excluded processes and the criteria for exclusion are given in the following table. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

Technical purpose
Loukolampi production site’s lime aggregate products consist of either dolomite, dolomite (low grade), calcite, or both calcite and dolomite. This product-EPD declares EPD results of peat lime which is used as a growth medium in industry. The peat lime raw material composition is presented in the following tables. Calcite is utilized for various purposes such as sulfur removal in flue gas, water treatment, pH adjustment, alkalinity control, and occasionally as an auxiliary material in the production of glass wool. It is also used as a filler material in the concrete and mortar industry as an aggregate and additive, and as raw materials in the feed industry (animal nutrition). Dolomite is a widely used mineral in agriculture for its high magnesium content and as a filler, particularly in the paint and plastics sectors. It is also utilized in the asphalt industry for asphalt mixes and paved roads, in the concrete industry, and for field liming purposes. Low grade dolomite is mainly used as road gravel/aggregate, also to some extent as construction materials for various other purposes.
