Geographical representativeness description	Sweden
Reference year	2024
Name	Akustik chair 6141: Veneered seat and back
Use advice for data set	A cradle-to-cradle, A1-D, analysis with a few excluded B-stages, see the chart above. Modules A1-A4 include extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the factory in Gärsnäs, the production process itself, and an estimated transport distance to the market. A5 includes the generated waste from transport packaging after the assembly at the customer. Module B2 includes water usage from cleaning with a damp cloth. Modules C2-D include the transport to waste management, the waste processes, disposal of materials unable to be processed, and the potential of reuse, recovery, and recycling.
Technical purpose of product or process	The Akustik series, designed by Åke Axelsson, consists of chairs, armchairs, and barstools in solid birch with a 40 mm sound-absorbing and environmentally friendly soundfelt under the seat, covered by perforated plywood. The customer can modify the product to their preference and need. The customer can choose between a seat in veneer or fabric, or a seat and back in veneer or fabric. The series is suitable for public indoor spaces. This declaration is based on the chair Akustik 6141 with a veneered seat and back in birch. The environmental indicators for the other variants and options of the Akustik series are on page 12.

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.
