| Use advice for data set | The life cycle assessment for the Chat desk is defined using a cradle-to-grave system boundary with the inclusion of Module D, covering all stages from raw material extraction to end-of-life treatment and potential benefits beyond the system boundary. The product stage (A1–A3) includes the sourcing and processing of raw materials such as steel for the frame, electronic components for the lifting system, and laminated wood materials for the tabletop. Transport of these materials to the manufacturing facility, as well as the full production process including assembly, energy use, and internal waste handling, are incorporated in these modules. Transport to the user (A4) assumes typical road freight conditions from the production site to the final destination, including protective packaging. Installation (A5) requires no additional resources beyond unpacking and positioning the desk; packaging waste is sorted for recycling or energy recovery. During the use phase, maintenance (B2) is limited to simple cleaning and requires no replacements of components, lubricants, or consumables. Due to the durability of the frame, lifting mechanism, and tabletop, no repairs (B3) or component replacements (B4) are expected within the reference service life. At the end of life, the desk is manually dismantled (C1) and transported via road to a waste management facility (C2). Waste processing (C3) includes sorting of materials for recycling—particularly metals and electronics—and energy recovery of suitable wood fractions. Residual materials that cannot be recovered are disposed of in landfill (C4). Module D accounts for benefits beyond the system boundary, including avoided impacts from the recycling of steel and electronic components, as well as substituted energy produced through the recovery of combustible material fractions. These credits reflect the potential environmental advantages of material recovery at the product’s end of life. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The Chat desk is a height-adjustable workstation designed to support ergonomic and flexible working environments. Equipped with an electric lifting system, the desk offers a smooth and reliable height adjustment range from 615 to 1275 mm (±5 mm, excluding tabletop), allowing users to alternate effortlessly between seated and standing positions. The tabletop is made from durable direct-laminate with an ABS edge band for increased resistance to wear, while the powder-coated steel frame ensures stability and long-term durability. The desk is also fitted with adjustable feet for secure placement on uneven floors and features an anti-collision safety function that automatically stops movement if an obstruction is detected. Read more at www.Lekolar.com The Chat desk is designed as a robust and adaptable height-adjustable workstation suitable for both educational and professional environments. With a generous tabletop measuring 180 × 120 cm, the desk offers ample space for a variety of tasks, equipment and collaborative work. Its electrically adjustable frame allows the height to be set anywhere between 615 and 1275 mm, enabling smooth transitions between sitting and standing positions and supporting ergonomic working postures for users of different ages and needs. The tabletop is manufactured in durable direct-laminate with ABS edging for enhanced resistance to wear, while the powder-coated steel frame provides stability and long-term structural integrity. Adjustable feet ensure secure placement even on uneven surfaces, and an integrated anti-collision function increases safety during height adjustment. Desk Chat is available in multiple sizes, and the underframe comes in a wide range of colors The following variants are included in this EPD: Desk Chat, 100x60 Desk Chat, 100x80 Desk Chat, 120x60 Desk Chat, 120x80 Desk Chat, 140x70 Desk Chat, 140x80 Desk Chat, 160x80 Desk Chat, 180x80 Desk Chat, 200x80 Desk Chat, 160x120, Right Desk Chat, 160x120, Left Desk Chat, 180x120, Right The following options are included in this EPD: Frontpanel 100x50 Frontpanel 120x50 Frontpanel 140x50 Frontpanel 160x50 Frontpanel 180x50 Frontpanel 200x50 |
| 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. |
