| Use advice for data set | The EPD is a cradle-to-grave analysis (A1-D), excluding certain B-stages (use phase) assumed negligible. • A1-A4 stages: These encompass the extraction and production of raw materials, transportation to the production site, the production process itself, and an estimated transport distance to the market. • A5 stage: This includes the waste generated from the product’s packaging after customer assembly. • B stage: Only B2 is considered relevant, involving assumptions on customer care based on Abstracta’s care instructions. • C and D stages: These cover the use of materials and energy for deconstruction, transportation to waste management, waste processing, disposal of non-processable materials, and the potential for reuse, recovery, and recycling of the product. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Designer: Gabriel Tan The wall panel created by Gabriel Tan is made of cork, a natural material that offers excellent acoustic properties. As simple and spontaneous as a sand formation carved by the wind, its shape is the perfect starting point for creating a multitude of patterns – from the asymmetrical to the symmetrical, from geometrically strict configurations to dynamic, random formations reminiscent of sand dunes. Sahara is made out of waste material from the production of wine corks at a factory in Portugal. Cork production occurs in harmony with nature; indeed, it helps to preserve Portugal’s beautiful groves and forests of cork oaks, which in turn provide essential habitat for the Iberian imperial eagle and other wildlife. Without cork production, the country’s cork forests would risk being replaced by farmland. For more information about the product, visit the product page https://abstracta.se/product/sahara-wall-panel-cork/ The wall panel consists of moulded cork and is hung on concealed aluminium fittings.

| 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. |
