3bd25994-cfbc-4700-a39b-a74c95747f1d Cemfloor Binder Data flows have been modelled as realistically as possible. Data quality assessment is based on the principle that the primary data used for processes occurring at the production site is selected in the first instance. Where this is not available, other reference data is selected from appropriate sources. The process descriptions and quantities in this study are reproducible in accordance with the reference standards that have been used. The references of all sources, both primary and public sources and literature, have been documented in the LCA report. In addition, to facilitate the reproducibility of this EPD, a full set of data records has been generated which can be accessed via the Ecochain LCA tool. This data portfolio contains a summary of all the data used in this LCA, and correspondingly, in the Cemfloor LCA account. 1 Ireland A1. Raw materials supply All relevant resources and materials in production module A1 have been included in this study. This module considers the extraction and processing of all raw materials and energy which occur upstream to the Cemfloor manufacturing process, as well as waste processing up to the end-of waste state. The data on products, by-products and waste in this report were obtained from the energy, resources and materials supplied by McGrath’s Limestone as those being used at the production site. Primary production data from the year 2019 has been used. Ecoinvent 3.5 database had been used. A2. Transport of raw materials to manufacturer All relevant transport of materials to the Cemfloor, Cong, production plant has been included in this study. This includes the transport distance of the raw materials to the manufacturing facility via road, boat and/or train. A3. Manufacturing The production processes are modelled using specific values from primary data collection at the production site. All relevant production processes in module A3 are included in this assessment. All processes in the production of Cemfloor binder use electricity. No co-products are produced in the manufacture of the Cemfloor binder. The Cemfloor production installation site does not have any dangerous waste streams. All other substances and emissions that are released during the production process are included in this assessment. This EPD is carried out for Cemfloor binder. The constituent raw materials comprise finely ground calcium carbonate and a proprietary binder, Cemexa. The two materials are blended to make the Cemfloor binder. The Cemfloor binder is manufactured in accordance with EN 12620:2013, Aggregates for concrete. EPD EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, EPD Ireland PCR Part A. specific dataset ecoinvent database (all versions) EPDIE-20-25 This EPD is carried out for Cemfloor binder. The constituent raw materials comprise finely ground calcium carbonate and a proprietary binder, Cemexa. The two materials are blended to make the Cemfloor binder. The Cemfloor binder is manufactured in accordance with EN 12620:2013, Aggregates for concrete. It is not determined as to how the Cemfloor binder is to be processed at the end of life (after 50 years). The Cemfloor binder is combined with water, sand and admixtures and poured on-site to make a self-levelling floor screed. Therefore this module is not considered in this LCA study. As new and improved systems for the recycling of building products are developed over time, these can be determined and then applied to in a future LCA study. jane anderson, Construction LCA EN 15804 EN 15804 Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant ISO 14025 Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant ISO 21930 Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant Fully compliant 2021-10-15T16:53:37 ILCD format EPD Data Format Extension 00.03.000 2021-10-12T08:49:55.727877Z EPDIE-20-25 McGrath’s Limestone true Free of charge for all users and uses Cemfloor Binder General reminder flow Output 1 1 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured Use of renewable primary energy (PERE) Fornybar primærenergi brukt som energibærer (RPEE) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 91.300000000000 2.330000000000 0.730000000000 MJ Use of renewable primary energy resources used as raw materials (PERM) Fornybar primærenergi brukt som energibærer (RPEE) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Total use of renewable primary energy resource (PERT) Total bruk av fornybar primærenergi (TPE) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 91.300000000000 2.330000000000 0.730000000000 MJ Use of non renewable primary energy (PENRE) Ikke fornybar primærenergi brukt som energibærer (NRPE) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 2160.000000000000 175.000000000000 5.370000000000 MJ Use of non renewable primary energy resources used as raw materials (PENRM) Ikke fornybar primærenergi brukt som råmateriale (NRPM) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Total use of non renewable primary energy resource (PENRT) Total nicht erneuerbare Primärenergie (PENRT) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 2160.000000000000 175.000000000000 5.370000000000 MJ Use of secondary material (SM) Bruk av sekundære materialer (SM) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 kg Use of renewable secondary fuels (RSF) Bruk av fornybart sekundære brensel (RSF) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Use of non renewable secondary fuels (NRSF) Bruk av ikke fornybart sekundære brensel (NRSF) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Use of net fresh water (FW) Netto bruk av ferskvann (W) General reminder flow Input 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.867000000000 0.023500000000 0.001190000000 m3 Hazardous waste disposed (HWD) Avhendet farlig avfall (HW) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.001860000000 0.000365000000 0.000030500000 kg Non hazardous waste dispose (NHWD) Avhendet ikke-farlig avfall (NHW) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 4.630000000000 6.020000000000 0.010000000000 kg Radioactive waste disposed (RWD) Avhendet radioaktivt avfall (RW) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.006280000000 0.001100000000 0.000029900000 kg Components for re-use (CRU) Komponenter for gjenbruk (CR) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 kg Materials for recycling (MFR) Materialer for resirkulering (MR) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 kg Materials for energy recovery (MER) Materialer for energigjenvinning (MER) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 kg Exported electrical energy (EEE) Eksportert elektrisk energi(EEE) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Exported thermal energy (EET) Eksportert termisk energi (ETE) General reminder flow Output 0 0 0 0 undefined 0 Primary Measured 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 MJ Global warming potential (GWP) Globalt oppvarmingspotensial (GWP) 0 undefined 0 149.000000000000 10.900000000000 0.316000000000 kg CO2-Äqv.
