| Use advice for data set | Scope: This environmental product declaration is based on a declared unit of 1 m raw chipboard with an average density of 655 kg/m produced with an average glue mix in the plant of Brilon, Germany. The production conditions in Brilon are comparable to those of the other plants. They correspond to the technologies and standards used in all locations. System boundary: The LCA of the average EGGER raw chipboard includes a cradle-to-gate consideration of the occurring environmental impact with the modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A3, +C, +D). The following life cycle phases are taken into account in the analysis: Module A1– A3 | Production stage The production stage includes the expenses of the raw material supply (logs, scrap wood, sawdust, glue system, auxiliary materials, etc.) as well as the associated transports to the production site in Brilon. Within the plant boundaries, the log yard, wet chip preparation, drying, gluing, spreading, pressing, the sanding line up to the warehouse and shipping are taken into account. Thermal and electrical energy, compressed air and water are provided by central suppliers at the Brilon site. The majority of the electrical energy used is obtained from the German power grid. Both internal wood waste and scrap wood sourced externally are used in the in-house biomass power plant. The system boundary for the scrap wood used in the production is set after sorting and chopping. It is assumed that the end of the waste status has been reached. The system boundary for secondary raw materials according to EN 15804 applies. Module C1 | Dismantling / Demolition Manual dismantling was assumed for the raw chipboard. The associated efforts are negligible, which means that no environmental impact from the dismantling of the products is declared. Module C2 | Transport to waste treatment Module C2 includes transport to waste treatment. For this purpose, transport by lorry over a distance of 50 km is used as a representative scenario. Module C3 | Waste processing Chopping after product disassembly is considered in module C3. The wood products and with them the material-inherent properties leave the product system as secondary fuel in module C3. Module C4 | Disposal The scenario used declares the energy recovery of the wood products, which means that no environmental impact from the waste treatment of the products in C4 are to be expected. Module D | Credits and charges beyond the limits of the product system The energy utilisation of the product at the end of its life cycle is described in Module D, including energetic substitution potentials as a European average scenario. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Raw chipboard is mainly used in decorative interior design and furniture construction. It is used in residential and project furnishings. Raw chipboards Eurospan E1E05 TSCA P2 and Eurospan JP F0.3 F**** MR are used especially for furniture and interior design with increased requirements for formaldehyde emission. | ||

| General comment on data set | Eurospan raw chipboards are board-shaped wood-based materials according to EN 312. The board types are primarily differentiated or classified in their application as non-load-bearing and load-bearing elements in dry and humid conditions: P1: General purpose boards for use in dry conditions, P2: Boards for interior furnishings (including furniture) for use in dry conditions, P3: Boards for non-load-bearing purposes for use in humid conditions, P4: Boards for load-bearing purposes for use in dry conditions, P5: Load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions, P6: heavy-duty load-bearing boards for use in dry conditions, P7: heavy-duty load-bearing boards for use in humid conditions (are not produced). The average glue mix across all board types is considered. The production conditions of the Brilon site are comparable to those of the other plants. They correspond to the technologies and standards used in all locations. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The production process of Eurospan raw chipboard is identical at all producing locations and proceeds according to the following steps: 1. Wood preparation - roundwood chipping - chip preparation - residual wood preparation 2. Drying the chips to approximately 2 – 3 % residual moisture 3. Sorting the chips 4. Applying glue to the chips 5. Spreading the glue-coated chips onto a forming belt 6. Pressing the chip cake in a continuously operating hot press 7. Formatting of the raw boards 8. Cooling the rawboards in star coolers 9. Sanding the upper and lower sides 10. Stacking into large stacks. All scraps produced during production (trimming, cutting and milling scraps) are processed and fed back into the production process. All sites maintain a certified quality management system according to ISO 9001. Declared unit: This environmental product declaration is based on a declared unit of 1 m EGGER raw chipboard with an average raw density of 655 kg/m and a delivery moisture of approximately 6 %. | ||
