Key Data Set Information
Location	SE
Geographical representativeness description	European market
Reference year	2024
Name	Gaia
Technical purpose of product or process	Gaia is a sound absorber with four symmetrical pieces representing the four elements: fire, earth, wind and water. Gaia means Mother Earth. The four elements can be combined in millions of different ways with an infinite range of possible combinations. Gaia gives the room the best sound quality while creating a colorful and inspiring ambient. https://www.blastation.com/products/product-families/ginkgo/ginkgo Materials: 50% recycled PET-fibers. 50% Low melt fibers with 75% recycled fibers. Built-in magnets for connection fitting. This particular Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is conducted for one specific Gaia panel. For technical data on variants and options of sound absorbents, please visit our website at: https://www.blastation.com
Classification	Class name : Hierarchy level EPDNorge: Furniture / Sound panels
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.
