Name
Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest, Leca Denmark
Technical purpose of product or process he EPD describes results for production of lightweight expanded clay aggregate, labelled Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest, from the factory in Hinge, Denmark. Lightweight expanded clay aggregate is a granular ceramic material made from natural clay (see process information below). The main characteristic of expanded clay is low density combined with high strength. Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is used in lightweight blocks and slabs, insulation fill, water treatment, lightweight fillings and geotechnical fills for thermal and sound insulation purposes. Thus Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is typically hidden in buildings or cast into concrete. The density of Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is 0,365 tonnes per m3. The thermal insulation is 0,095 W/mK. Further information or explanatory material may be obtained by contacting Leca Danmark A/S. The water content of the Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is 0 % when the Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is produced at Leca Danmark A/S Hinge. The storage conditions can change the water content of the Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest up to 25%. Different waste are recovered in the production process both as fuels as clay additives. See additional Tech info. Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is produced by using nearby clay and transported by using a conveyer belt to the factory. Furthermore the final product Leca® 10-20 Plads Vest is sold in bulk, so no packing is used.

General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different 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+A2. 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.
