Use advice for data set The life cycle assessment of the Objet Collection refrigerator is a “from cradle to grave” analysis and covers the following main life cycle stages according to EN 50693: Manufacturing stage, including the relevant upstream process (e.g. acquisition of raw material, preparation of semi-finished goods, etc.) and the main manufacturing and processing stage; distribution stage; installation stage, including the relevant stage for the preparation of the product for use; use stage, including the re-quired maintenance steps within the RSL (reference service life) associated to the reference product; end-of-life stage, including the necessary stage until and for the final disposal or recovery of the product system. The following figure shows the stages of the product life cycle and the information stages according to the PCR EPDItaly007 for the evaluation of electronic and electrical products and systems. More specifically, the stages of the product life cycle and the information considered for the evaluation of the Obejet Collection refrigerator is the following: • The upstream manufacturing stage: This includes the acquisition of raw materials as well as production and transportation of semi-finished parts, components, and sub-assemblies from both direct and indirect suppliers to LG electronics. • The core manufacturing stage: This includes the final assembling and testing at the local manufacturing sites in Finland, India, and China. It also includes the utility consumptions and the waste generated at the sites as well as the production and use of packaging materials. • The distribution stage: This includes all activities related to the distribution and transportation of the final product to the site of installation. • The installation stage: This includes the end of life of the packaging materials. • The use stage: This includes the power consumption throughout the reference service life of the product. • The end-of-life stage: This includes all activities related to waste treatment and disposal of the product at the end of its service life.

Data set use approval

General comment Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials as well as technical drawings and documents. Site specific foreground data have been provided by LG Electronics. For all processes for which primary are not available, generic data originating from the ecoinvent v3.8 database, “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The ecoinvent and Gabi database is available in Gabi 9.5 which is the LCA software used for the calculations. The utility consumption and waste generation of LGE’s production plants are allocated to the production of one refrigerator by using allocation rules. Because refrigerator's production lines are focused on refrigerator production, the total utility consumption and waste generation for 2021 are divided by the total output and production time of refrigerators during the same year. For the end-of-life allocation, the “polluter pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard, as required by the PCR EPDItaly007. This means, waste treatment processes are allocated to the product system that generates the waste until the end-of-waste state is reached. The PCR EPDItaly007 does not provide any details about cut-off criteria; it refers to chapter 4.2.3.3 in the standard EN 50693. According to EN 50693, the cut-off criteria can be set to a maximum of 5 % of the overall environmental impacts given by the LCIA results. In this study, production losses have been excluded as they are considered negligible to the overall environmental impacts. Thus, a conservative approach is adopted.

Technical purpose The Objet Collection refrigerator is used in home for protection and storage of food and beverages. The obje? collection refrigerator is a new concept refrigerator that can change the color of the door panel. If the color of the door needs to be changed while the product is in use, the customer can freely select and change the color of the door. The Objet Collection refrigerator is mostly composed of metal, plastic, glass, and electronic components. Most of the metal is iron, aluminum, and copper, and the plastic is composed of ABS, PE, PP, PS, POM, and PU. The refrigerant is R600a.
