Key Data Set Information
Location	SE
Geographical representativeness description	Europe.
Reference year	2025
Name	Hug Chair
Technical purpose of product or process	The Hug chair is perfect for every occasion, every person and every place. It is easy to stack and can be suspended from a table by its frame, facilitating cleaning and making everyday life a little simpler. This is a chair composed for comfort, accessibility and function. The challenge has been in working with the pressed veneer to achieve bold curves which are comfortable yet retain the clean lines and strength of the material. Hug Chair either come with a back and seat in pressed veneer or with a soft upholstered pad for longer sitting. Packaging Details: Hug Chair are packaged in quantities of up to three chairs per cardboard box. More information about Hug Chair can be found here: https://www.edsbyn.com/products/hug/chair/ Hug Chair 20693F - back and seat in birch veneer. Frame/stand: Powder-coated steel Back support: Form pressed birch veneer Seat: Form pressed birch veneer Padding: No Upholstery: No For the purpose of these EPD calculations, Capture by Gabriel Fabrics has been selected as the upholstery for all applicable textile variants. Consequently, the LCA results may differ slightly depending on your chosen upholstery. Key environmental indicators of a selection of other variants of Hug Chair are presented on page 11.

General comment on data set	Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. They represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on registered EPDs according to EN 15804, Ostfold Research databases, ecoinvent and other LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

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.
