Monroe chair
Use advice for data set Certain steel components are manufactured at Kinnarps' production site in Jönköping and some are purchased as premanufactured components. The upholstering and certain plastic components are manufactured at Kinnarps' production site in Skillingaryd, where the fabric is also processed and where the final assembly takes place. The product is then delivered to the customer from Kinnarps' production site in Kinnarp.
Technical purpose of product or process Monroe 967 XBASE in 100% recycled polyester fabric and aluminum starbase with castors. Monroe is our classic meeting and conference chair that is ideal for different types of meeting areas, meeting rooms or touch-down spaces for shorter periods of work. It’s a soft, comfortable and fully upholstered chair where every curve has a meaning and each line a purpose. Monroe is a sustainable choice and has been designed to last a long time in terms of look and functionality. It also carries the Möbelfakta label – a guarantee not only of non-toxic materials but also compliance with European quality and safety requirements for public spaces. The chair is comprised of a limited number of components, all of which can be replaced, updated and recycled, making it circular and sustainable in the long term. https://www.kinnarps.com/products/seating/chairs/monroe/ There are four different underframes to choose from: 4 legs, 4 legs with castors, sledge or 5-star base with castors. The seat unit is moulded in High Resilience (HR) Foam, a foam with high responsiveness and shape stability, which quickly recovers its shape The back has a natural springiness that counteracts static sitting and increases blood circulation. With a 5-star base, Monroe is height adjustable for individual adaptation of the seat height. Its swivel function and castors make the chair easy to move and customise for different situations. This EPD includes the following variants: 967 XBASE - with wool blend fabric 966 4 legs - with 100% recycled polyester fabric 966A 4 legs - with armrests and 100% recycled polyester fabric 966C 4 legs - with castors and 100% recycled polyester fabric 966 SLEDGE - with 100% recycled polyester fabric

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.
