The manufacturing company is Knauf Insulation - plants Krupka (Czech Republic), Lannemezan (France) and Visé (Belgium). Indicators are calculated using 2013 data.The owner of the declaration shall be liable for the underlying information and evidence; the IBU shall not be liable with respect to manufacturer information, life cycle assessment data and evidences. Verification The CEN Norm EN 15804 serves as the core PCR Independent verification of the declaration according to ISO 14025 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Horst J. Bossenmayer (President of Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.) internally x externally Dr. Burkhart Lehmann (Managing Director IBU) Matthias Schulz (Independent tester appointed by SVA) Product Product description Knauf Insulation manufactures glass mineral wool insulation products such as TI 132U, KI Fit 032, Naturoll 032, KI Multifit 032, EASY LRR 032 U with ECOSE® Technology . They are available in the form of slabs or rolls, and also boards. The density for glass mineral wool ranges from 10 to 85 kg/m³. In general, glass mineral wool consists of >= 92.5% inert material. The inert part is made of recycled glass (external cullet, up to 80% of the composition) and mainly sand and dolomite. The remaining <= 7.5% are made of bio-based binder components. At Knauf Insulation, the binder used for the GMW products is the ECOSE binder whose origin is plant starch. GMW 032 rolls are products unfaced, and they are used for their thermal, acoustical and fire characteristics. A representative product out of a particular group of produts was selected for the calculation. For the placing on the market of construction products in the European Union and EFTA /Regulation (EU) No 305/2011/ applies. The products need a Declaration of performance (DoP) taking into consideration the harmonized product standard /EN 13162/ and the CE-mark /Regulation (EC) No 765/2008/. Application Main applications for GMW 032 unfaced rolls are in pitched roofs, partition walls and timber frames. For the applications and use national regulations apply, in Germany the /Allgemeine bauaufsichtliche Zulassung Z-23.15-1461/ (building inspection approval) issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt), Berlin. Technical Data GMW 032 unfaced rolls and their technical characteristics meet a number of technical requirements. The most important ones are summarized in the table here below, which also includes references to testing methods. Technical characteristics Name Value Unit Thermal conductivity /EN 12667/ 0.032 W/(mK) Water vapour diffusion resistance factor /EN 13162/ 1 - Gross density /EN 1602/ 29.5 - 32.5 kg/m3 Longit. air-diffusion resist. /EN 29053/ >=5 kNs/m^4 Water absorption Wp /EN 1609/ < 1 kg/m² Water absorption Wlp /EN 12087/ < 3 kg/m²
3 Environmental Product Declaration Knauf Insulation – GMW 032 unfaced rolls with ECOSE Reaction to fire /EN 13501-1/ A1 - Specific heat capacity /EN ISO 10456/ 850 J/kgK Acoustic absorption not relevant Compression strength/resistance not relevant Base materials / Ancillary materials GMW is an insulation material of mostly inorganic origin intended for thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as for fire prevention in construction and industry. Raw materials used in the production of GMW are sand, limestone, soda ash and a high level of recycled glass (up to 80%). A bio-based binder, ECOSE, is spread on the fibers which polymerisation contributes to fix the product dimensions. The cured binder bonds the fibres together thus providing the necessary mat stability and mechanical strength. Reference service life The RSL or durability of GMW 032 is as long as the lifetime of the building in which it is used. LCA: Calculation rules Declared Unit The declared unit is 1 m³ of glass mineral wool. The density used for the calculation of the LCA is 31 kg/m³. Declared unit Name Value Unit Declared unit 1 m3 Gross density 31 kg/m3 Conversion factor to 1 kg 0.032 - System boundary The system boundary of the EPD follows the modular approach defined by /EN 15804/. The type of EPD is cradle-to-gate-with options. List and explanation of the modules declared in the EPD. The product stage (A1-A3) includes: - A1 - raw material extraction and processing, processing of secondary material input (e.g. recycling processes), - A2 - transport to the manufacturer and - A3 - manufacturing. This includes provision of all materials, products and energy, packaging processing and their transport, as well as waste processing up to the end-of waste state or disposal of final residues during the product stage. The LCA results are given in an aggregated form for the product stage, meaning that the modules A1, A2 and A3 are considered as a unique module A1-A3. The construction process stage includes: - A4 - transport to the construction site and - A5 - installation into the building. The transport to the building site (A4) is included in the LCA calculation. For GMW 032 rolls, the average transport distance is assumed to be 600 km with a truck capacity utilization of 70%. Module A5 has neither been included nor declared in this EPD, since it depends on the application, and method or tools used which can be very diverse, as GMW 032 rolls are used in different external wall applications. Therefore, the treatment of the packaging waste after the installation of the product has not been considered. The use stage. Because they are specific for the building, its use and location, none of the modules related to the building maintnance and operation (B1 to B7) have been taken into account in this EPD. The end-of-life stage includes: - C1 - de-construction, demolition, - C2 - transport to waste processing, - C3 - waste processing for reuse, recovery and/or recycling and - C4 - disposal. This includes provision of all transports, materials, products and related energy and water use, but only modules C2 and C4 are reported, as they are considered the most relevant scenarios for glass mineral wool products. Although glass mineral wool products from Knauf Insulation are partly recycled at end-of-life, there is not yet an established collection system and as such the assumption chosen in this study,100% landfilled after the use phase, is the most conservative approach. Module D includes re-use, recovery and/or recycling potentials. According to /EN 15804/, any declared benefits and loads from net flows leaving the product system not allocated as co-products and having passed the end-of waste state shall be included in module D. No benefits and loads are considered so module D is not included in the background model. Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account.

This is due to the consumption of energy (electricity and thermal energy) during the production of glass mineral wool products. The ADPe (non fossil resources) is dominated by raw material production. The GWP is dominated by the production, mostly due to energy consumption (gas and electricity). The raw materials and the transport to site also have some impact. The binder (bio-based) has overall no impact. The ODP is influenced by raw materials, production and packaging. The AP is dominated by the production due to the emissions related to the processes and the energy consumption. Mostly, the impact refers to emissions to air: sulphur dioxide, ammonia and nitrogen oxides. The EP is significantly influenced by the production due to emissions from the furnace, curing oven, electricity consumption, and binder production. The POCP is particularly dominated by the production (emissions in curing oven, electricity consumption). The results from the transport are negative due to the NO emissions; NO counteracts the POCP. RESOURCES USE The primary energy demand from non-renewable resources is dominated by the production of glass mineral wool products (especially due to the energy consumption) and with little influence of raw materials, binder and packaging. The renewable energy demand is dominated by the binder (bio-based), the production (electricity mix) and the packaging (wood pallets).
