| Use advice for data set | Scope: In this EPD cork floor tiles are declared. The application of this EPD is restricted to cork floor tiles produced by the members of the European Resilient Flooring Manufacturers’ Institute (ERFMI). Data are based upon production during 2017 in Europe. Data have been provided by one company of ERFMI which represent 100% of ERFMI members. System boundary: Type of EPD: cradle to grave Modules A1-A3 include processes that provide materials and energy input for the system, manufacturing and transport processes up to the factory gate, as well as waste processing. Module A4 includes transport of the floor covering to the place of installation. Module A5 includes the production of offcuts and adhesive for the installation of the floor covering, and incineration of offcuts and packaging material. Module B2 is including provision of cleaning agent, energy and water consumption for the cleaning of the floor covering incl. waste water treatment. The LCA results in this EPD are declared for a one-year usage. Module C1 considers electricity supply for the deconstruction of the flooring. Module C2 includes transportation of the postconsumer waste to waste processing. End of life scenarios are declared for: 100% incineration in a waste incineration plant (WIP) (Scenario 1, C3/1) 100% landfilling (Scenario 2, C4/2) Module D declares potential benefits from all net flows given in module A5 and C3 (for incineration and related energy substitution) that leave the product boundary system after having passed the end-of-waste state. Module D is declared for each scenario separately. | ||

| General comment on data set | Resilient floor coverings are an entire product family of flexible flooring solutions available in sheet, tiles and planks. It is classified in heterogeneous or homogeneous composition based on plastics, linoleum, cork or rubber. Resilient floor coverings can provide different functionalities (acoustic, static control, slip resistance, easy maintenance etc.) to match a wide range of domestic, commercial and industrial applications. It is available in an enormous range of patterns and colours fitting with inspiration and decorative needs. Cork floor tiles are produced of cork and binders. The cork is produced by stripping the bark from cork oak trees every nine years. Primarily this cork is treated in a boiling process and used for wine cork stoppers. Leftovers from the wine cork stoppers industry and bark cork trees from pruning are granulate in different sizes. For the flooring production the cork granules are mixed with an adhesive. This mixture is cured under temperature and pressure. The cork flooring surface is finally decorated with colour and finished with a UV varnish in order to guarantee wear resistance of the surface. | ||
