General comment
Data flows have been modeled 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 dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2017. The process descriptions and quantities in this study are reproducible in accordance to 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 the LCA, a full set of data records has been generated which can be accessed via the EcoChain tool. This data portfolio contains a summary of all the data used in this LCA, and correspondingly, in the Kilsaran EcoChain account.

Technical purpose
The LCA underlying this EPD is carried out for Kilsaran International. The LCA is carried out for the “Newgrange Paving Block 80mm Silver Granite” paving product. This product is selected as the most widely produced paving type. This EPD presents the results for Kilsaran paving products. The full list of Kilsaran paving products comprises out of 112 unique paving products. This EPD displays 3 of those unique paving products, as a selection, carried out by Kilsaran. The LCA and EPD of all other unique paving products can be sent upon request. The constituent raw materials of the paving products are EN 197 cements, gravel, sands, water, pigments and admixtures for mixing and efflorescence prevention. These materials are used in the full range of products. The paving products are used in large-scale paving project and in small-scale domestic paving projects by professionals and private consumers. (see for more information https://www.kilsaran.ie/products/paving/) The paving product consists of two layers: a bottom layer and a top layer. The layers are also referred to as the “Base layer” and “Face layer”. The products are produced according to standard BS EN 1338:2003 Product suitable for both pedestrian, vehicular use and commercial traffic when installed in conjunction with the correct, site specific sub-base design. Materials used for packaging, such as cardboard, paper shrouds, wood for crating and battens, and strapping, are left outside of the LCA calculation as these counted for less then 1% of environmental impact cut off criteria. The paving products are manufactured in a production plant, located at Piercetown, Dunboyne, Co. Meath. Raw material are transported to manufacturing facility in Piercetown Dunboyne. Paving operators select a recipe and the discharging hoppers will discharge the correct selected weight of material. Once mixed, the material will be lowered into a casting mould and will be hydraulically pressed into its desired shape. Products are cured for minimum 24 hours. Once cured the product will be stacked automatically onto pallets for storage or delivery. Product will pass a quality control operator who will remove all product deemed unsuitable for the open market and classed as waste. Products deemed unsuitable will be brought to an onsite crusher. (all rejected products are crushed and recycled back into the recipes.
