| Use advice for data set | The EPD is a cradle-to-grave analysis (A1-D), excluding certain B-stages (use phase) assumed negligible. • A1-A4 stages: These encompass the extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the production site, the production process itself, and an estimated transport distance to the market. • A5 stage: This includes the waste generated from the product’s packaging after customer assembly. • B stage: Only B2 is considered relevant, involving assumptions on customer care based on Abstracta’s care instructions. • C and D stages: These cover the use of materials and energy for deconstruction, transportation to waste management, waste processing, disposal of non-processable materials, and the potential for reuse, recovery, and recycling of the product. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Since antiquity, the pillar has been used as support for buildings but also as ornament and monument. Thomas Bernstrand’s version of the pillar makes a playful reference to the latter use: It is possible to put a plant on top of it. But in all other respects, his pillar is different from pillars and columns we are used to. dB Pillar works wonders for the soundscape. In combination with the material, the design of the product gives it unique acoustic features. It radically reduces the levels of low frequency noise, that most products fail to deal with. dB Pillar comes in different sizes and with various functions. For more information about the product, visit the product page https://abstracta.se/product/db-pillar/ The pillar consists of a wooden frame covered with a sound-absorbing polyester felt. dB pillar is filled with reused textile waste from Abstracta’s own facility, which functions as an acoustic filling. It comes in different sizes with various functions, such as a magazine rack, clothes hooks, e3 whiteboard, or a waste basket. Most variants are also equipped with a flowerpot on the top of the pillar. The pillar’s sides are fully upholstered. Choose from a wide range of fabrics and colours. This EPD includes the following variants: dB Pillar 470x1930 with Magazine Rack dB Pillar 470x1930 with e3 Whiteboard dB Pillar 470x1930 with Clothes Hooks dB Pillar 470x700 with Flowerpot dB Pillar 470x700 with Waste Basket dB Pillar 470x1100 with Flowerpot It also includes the following options: dB Pillar 470x1930 with Magazine Rack with polyester upholstery See the product brochure for more information: https://abstracta.se/app/uploads/2020/02/db-pillar.pdf |

| 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. |
