Alku Universal table with T-legs
Use advice for data set Product Stage / A1 Raw materials: Martela has long partnerships with its suppliers and subcontractors, who buy raw materials to their products and components from their suppliers, respectively. Main suppliers are locating in Europe. Wood material is coming from sustainably cultivated forest (FSC, PEFC, etc). Recycled materials are taken to use based on availability and when they fulfill the technical requirements set for the end products. Materials are including the product package to our customers. Packages that are coming from suppliers are re-used in customer delivery phase (like pallets) or handled as waste in Manufacturing phase A3. Customer delivery package is disposed in Installation phase A5. Product Stage / A2 Transport: Transportation is calculated from suppliers location to our own factories in Nummela and Kitee and between our factories when delivering components to final assembly phase in our logistics center in Nummela. Product Stage / A3 Manufacturing: Martela has three own factories for manufacturing our products. For these products Kitee factory is manufacturing laminate and melamine components. Production unit in Nummela make final assembly of the products based on customer orders. Nummela and Kitee factories are using renewable electricity and heating energy. From factory waste 98% is recycled.
Technical purpose of product or process The universal Alku table with T-legs is clean-cut and simple in design. The table suits the different needs of activity based offices and school environments. The T-legs make the table easy to clean as the legs don't get in the way. Alku universal table, with white laminate table top which size is 140 cm x 70 cm Manual height adjustment with 64 - 86 cm. Table top and legs are packed separately.

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.
