| Use advice for data set | The LCA is performed as a ‘cradle-to-grave ’ study, addressing all life cycle stages identified in the EN 15804+A2. All major raw materials, energy, electricity use and waste are included for all life cycle modules, see flowchart below. Use stage B1-7 modules are considered but are not relevant, as there are no activities and no significant environmental impact in the use stage. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | ROCKWOOL Betonelementbatts 34 is used as insulation in sandwich elements of concrete and clinker concrete, where optimal insulation performance is required, or where space is limited. The high insulation performance ensures slimmer constructions. This EPD documents the potential environmental impacts of 1m² of ROCKWOOL® stone wool insulation with a thermal resistance (R-value) equal to 1 m²K/W. The intended use of the EPD is to communicate quantified environmental impacts of construction products for application in the assessment of the environmental performance of buildings. ROCKWOOL® stone wool thermal insulation is a durable and fire-safe insulation material that can be used to insulate against heat, cold, fire, vibrations, and noise. ROCKWOOL® stone wool is made primarily from abundantly available volcanic rock, an increasing proportion of recycled ROCKWOOL® stone wool, and a cured resin binder. ROCKWOOL® offers a take-back system for closed-loop recycling – Rockcycle. ROCKWOOL® stone wool is a non-combustible material that does not react to fire. Stone wool’s built-in fire protection is natural and not dependent on flame retardants. Stone wool withstands temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius and retains its fire performance throughout its lifetime. The insulation properties of stone wool are primarily achieved by the immobile air within the open structure of the product. Therefore, the declared insulation property will remain constant for the declared lifetime of the product. This also allows the product to absorb noise and sounds and contribute to a better indoor acoustic climate. ROCKWOOL® stone wool fibers are proven to be safe to manufacture, install, and live with. Health and safety installation instructions shall always be followed. The average composition used for this EPD is calculated based on average factory consumption figures for raw materials. The raw materials are mainly non-scarce stones, and resin binder. |

| General comment on data set | Data quality: All data represents the applicable geography, time and technology for the specific and generic data, generally assessed as good and very good. Primary data are collected from the specific production sites, in the reference year 2021 and represent stabilized production. Generic data is from GaBi database (version 2021) with GaBi Software version 10.0.1.92. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804+A2. Production activities, electricity and energy consumption and waste generation are allocated equally among all products from the production site through mass allocation. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy are included. All hazardous materials and substances are considered in the inventory. Data sets within the system boundary are complete and fulfil criteria for the exclusion of inputs and output criteria. All data, materials and energy consumptions, have been specified according to the production data and have been considered within the inventory analysis. |
