Name	Bewi Finland Oy EPS Lattia 300 Greenline
Use advice for data set	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.
Technical purpose of product or process	The insulation board is provided in several dimensions and thicknesses. Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a common material used for thermal insulation of buildings and constructions. As most of the material is air, EPS provides good insulating properties at a low weight. Other characteristics of the material include low moisture absorption, long service life and high compressive strength. This LCA is based on EPS Lattia Greenline and can be used for all products with the conversion factor which can be found under System boundaries GreenLine EPS beads are made fully from recycled PS. Greenline EPS beads expand up to 40 times when exposed to steam. The expanded polystyrene beads are then fed into a block molding machine, where steam and pressure form large blocks of EPS. During these processes, the final density of the product is determined. EPS density is the main contributor to the mechanical and thermal resistances of EPS. The average density of EPS Lattia Greenline is around 38 kg/m³.

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.
