| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document refers to laminated lightweight boards manufactured by Holzwerkstoffe GmbH & Co. OG in the Wörgl and St. Johann in Tirol (Austria) plants. This document is translated from the German Environmental Product Declaration into English. It is based on the German original version EPD-EGG-20150313-IBD1-DE. The verifier has no influence on the quality of the translation. System boundary: This is a "from cradle to factory gate, with options" EPD. The life cycle analysis for the products under consideration encompasses the following segments of the life cycle: “Product stage” and “Credits and charges beyond the limits of the product system”. The systems therefore encompass the following stages according to /EN 15804/: Product stage (module A1-A3): Module A1 Procurement and processing of raw materials as well as processing of secondary raw materials serving as inputs Module A2 Transportation to the manufacturer Module A3 Production Disposal stage (C3) Module C3: in the sense of climate neutrality, biogenic carbon dioxide emissions are declared in C3 Credits and debits beyond the limits of the product system (module D): Module D includes the recovery potential of the net flows leaving the system border at the end of the life cycle. The product reaches the end-of-waste status after being removed from the building and 100% of it is thermally utilised in a biomass facility. The effects of the thermal utilisation and the credits of the generated energy are declared in Module D. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Melamine-faced lightweight boards are used in decorative interior design, furniture, as well as door construction. They are employed, for example, in the kitchen area as worktop or as interior door. Lightweight boards are used where a massive look with low weight is desired. |

| General comment on data set | EUROLIGHT Decor is a lightweight board with a melamine-faced chipboard as top layer and a cardboard comb core inside. This sandwich board offers maximum weight reduction without loss of load capacity and rigidity. An average product with an overall thickness of 42.6 mm and an area weight of 12.4 kg/m² is being considered. The overall thickness and the area weight of the product represent average values, which were weighted with the production volumes of the various thicknesses. |

Drying the chips to approximately 2 – 3 % residual moisture 5. Applying glue to the chips 6. Spreading the glue-coated chips onto a forming belt 7. Compression of the chip cake in a continuously operating calander hot press 8. Sanding the upper and lower sides 9. Cutting and trimming the board strand into rawboard formats 10. Piling into large stacks Production of lightweight boards in St. Johann 1. Separation of both connected laminated boards via longitudinal circular saws and cross cutting blades 2. Glue-coating of both top layers with the PUR adhesive system 3. Expansion of the hexagonal honeycomb in a tunnel dryer 4. Connection of glue-coated top layer with the medium layer 5. Calibration of the calibration element in a continuous calibration press 6. Trimming and setting of separating cuts 7. Stacking and packing the plates Production of impregnates for lamination in St. Johann 1. Processing the base paper 2. Addition of impregnation resins (MUF) in the plant 3. Drying the impregnated paper in heated dryers 4. Formatting the endless paper by means of a crosscutter 5. Stacking the formatted sheets on pallets Declared unit: The declaration relates to the manufacture of one cubic meter of laminated EUROLIGHT board. Unlaminated Eurolight boards display an average thickness of 12.4 kg/m² and an average overall thickness of 42.6 mm. The average was weighted according to the production volumes of the individual thicknesses. |
