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 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 this EPD, a full set of data records has been generated which can be accessed via the LCA tool. This data portfolio contains a summary of all the data used in this LCA, and correspondingly, in the Ecocel LCA account.

Technical purpose
This EPD is carried out for Ecocel Cellulose Insulation. The constituent raw materials comprise recycled paper and fire retardant admixtures. The insulation is manufactured in accordance with BS 5803-3:1985 Thermal insulation for use in pitched roof spaces in dwellings. The Ecocel Cellulose Fibre Insulation is manufactured from a mixture of recyled waste paper and fire retardant additives. The waste paper is shredded, and dust removed as it passes through a first cyclone. The admixtures are then added and the mix is further pulverised in a hammer mill. It is then fed through multiple cyclones for further dust removal, and then put in to a bin where it is fed into a ram and bagger, where the finished material is compressed into plastic bags, 15kg per bag, for the market. Dust from the cyclones is sent to municipal landfill. This EPD also covers the transport to site and installation of the insulation in place in the building. The insulation is blown into the cavities in the building, using an electrical pump.
