| Technical purpose of product or process | With its welcoming embrace and fluid lines MILO is a timeless armchair and footstool with a personality that’s sure to make it a discreet focus of attention in any room. The armchair comes in three models with a matching footstool. The design is characterised by clear, flowing lines, soft yet well-defined contours, a seat shell with an iconic form and a well-coordinated backrest that all combine to give the chair a distinctive identity that is very much at home in today’s design landscape. “MILO can adopt a range of different personalities and adapts easily to a wide variety of settings, purposes and conditions. It is ideal both as a solitaire for relaxation and reflection, and grouped to provide a setting for effective communication in open-plan offices, hotel lobbies or lounges,” say Böttcher & Kayser. During the manufacturing process considerable emphasis was placed on constructing an item of furniture with the potential to be simply re-used by easily replacing the covers if they become tired and worn. The padding on the outside of the arms is held firmly in place, but the inside is more loosely upholstered to accentuate the soft, welcoming qualities that invite users to linger a little longer. This declaration focuses on an in-depth study of Milo Low 03 The table on page 12 of this declaration provides the key environmental indicators for the other models within the product family |

| 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. Fabric used in the calculation is Camira Oceanic, a 100% post-consumer recycled polyester A3 Data Collection (Production Phase) Data for the A3 module, encompassing the production phase, was collected in 2020. This data includes all relevant inputs and outputs associated with manufacturing processes. A4 Data Collection (Transport to Customer) Transport data for the A4 module was sourced from Trafa.se and reflects operations during the years 2021-2022. According to statistics from Trafikanalys, the average distance covered by a Swedish heavy-duty truck transporting furniture in domestic traffic was approximately 143 kilometers in 2022, with an average of 153 kilometers for the period 2012–2022. These values are based on representative industry conditions and account for the most recent data on logistics efficiency and route optimization. A5 Data (Packaging Disposal) For the A5 module, it is assumed that packaging materials are automatically handled and disposed of in alignment with standard waste management practices at this stage. This assumption aligns with typical end-of-life scenarios for packaging in regulated waste systems. Maintenance Data (B2 Module) Maintenance requirements are calculated based on typical cleaning scenarios over the product's lifespan, assumed to be 15 years: Vacuum cleaning: Energy consumption is calculated assuming a 900 W vacuum cleaner operating for 30 seconds per week over 15 years. Wet cleaning: Water consumption is estimated at 0.0005 m³ (equivalent to 0.5 liters) per cleaning session, with cleaning occurring once per week for 15 years. 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. |
