Use advice for data set This EPD covers the following modules; A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport), and A3 (Manufacturing). The construction stage includes module A4 (Transport to the site). The use phase includes module B6 (energy consumption). In addition, the end-of-life stage is included information from C2, C3, and C4 and beyond the life cycle information from D module. B4 module has been left out because calculations are based on reference lifetime of the luminaire and during that period there is no need for replacements for parts.
A1-A3 Manufacturing
A1 raw material supply, the module takes the acquisition and processing of both base materials and the prefabricated components that make up the product.
A2 transportation module includes the transportation of different materials and components from the
manufacturer to the factory where the final product is made (Oulu, Finland).
A3 manufacturing module includes the consumption of energy and packaging material used during the manufacturing process. Electricity energy consumed is from certified renewable hydropower. The primary data used has been obtained from the production plant itself. A1-A3 states consider waste management of production waste. Production waste scenarios are municipal waste treatment in Finland. No secondary fuels or materials are used in production.
A4-A5 Installation stage
The information from transportation A4 is included in the LCA calculation. Modul includes transportation of the finished and packaged product. The transportation distance is 500 km with a truck. Module A5 installation process includes transport and management of packaging waste.
Installation is considered in EPD. Installation takes into account the materials necessary for installation, but excluding energy used in installation.
B1-B7 Use stage
B1 includes the environmental aspects and impacts of the normal use of the product, not including the consumption of water and energy. The impact of the product at this stage is null.
B2 maintenance is not considered.
B3-reparation is not considered.
B4 substitution is not considered
B5 rehabilitation is not considered
B6 operational energy use is considered in EPD.
C1-C4 End-of-life stage
The information from the transportation of waste C2 is included in the LCA calculation, the average distance to the recycling center is 100 km.
C3 Waste management.
C4 Final disposal module considers the treatment of the rest of the product. The final disposal is incineration and landfill.
D Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary
This product claims environmental benefits due to recycling according to Directive 2012/19/EU of WEEE.
Approximately 90.4% of luminaire ends up to recycling according to Eurostat recycling rate for large electronic equipment. Luminaire is dismantled into metals, plastics and electronics. An assumption is made that 90% of metal is recycled, 55% of plastics are recycled and 94,1% of SER waste is recycled.
