The studied system boundary is Cradle to gate with options; module A5, modules C1–C4, module D (A1–A3, A5, C1-C4 and D). The studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A5 Installation to building, C1 Deconstruction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life C3 Waste processing, C4 Disposal and stage D the benefits and loads beyond the system boundary, which consist of product reuse, recovery and recycling. The life-cycle modules are listed in the following table.

General comment
Allocation rules used are made according to the 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 by classification’ has been used for Ecoinvent 3.8 data, which complies with EN 15804. Avoiding allocation could not be avoided for following inputs as the information was only measured on factory process level. • Electricity consumption, heat production, fuels for process: 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. • Ancillary 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, process that has a very low contribution to the overall revenue may be neglected in co-product allocation. No allocations were made, since the production scrap of the products are given free of charge out of the factory after crushing. Since there is no financial impact from the aggregate, no allocation is made. Crushing of the production scrap was included in the fuels consumed in the production sites as it could not been separated from the total fuel consumption. 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 studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

Technical purpose
Non-reinforced concrete products consist of aggregate and precast concrete blocks which are intended to various use in construction sites. Aggregate and precast blocks are well suited for use in foundations, floor structures, exterior walls, pillars, and partition walls. The blocks provide resistance to moisture and weather, along with sound insulation, airtightness, and thermal insulation. Products are intended to various use in construction sites.
