5 EPD Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 LCA information Functional unit / declared unit The declared unit is 1 m2 of unfaced, uncoated Rock Mineral Wool Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 with a thickness of 60 mm. The declared lambda is 0.037 W/mK. The density used for the calculation of this specific LCA is 40 kg/m3. Reference service life: The RSL or durability of Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 is as long as the lifetime of the building equipment in which it is used (at least 50 years). Time representativeness & Information on Specific Data: Plant production data for the complete year 2019. The reference product groups considered in this EPD are produced in one unique manufacturing plant, therefore, variations in sites issue is not relevant. The data which is used to carry out the LCA calculations contains >90 % specific data and less 10 % generic data. Database(s) and LCA software used: The LCA model, the data aggregation and environmental impacts are calculated with the software GaBi 10.0 and its Service Pack 40 databases. The impact models used are those indicated in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. System diagram: Description of system boundaries: The system boundary of the EPD follows the modularity approach defined by the EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. The type of EPD is cradle-to-grave. 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 its 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. Product Parameters Value Declared density 40 kg/m³ (+/-10%) Rock mineral wool weight 2.4 kg Surface 1 m² Thickness 60 mm Volume 0.06 m3 Packaging Plastic sheet 0.04 kg Packaging Wooden pallet 0.22 kg The construction process stage includes: - A4 - transport to the construction site and - A5 - installation into the building. The transport to the building site (A4) and installation (A5) included in this LCA use the following parameters: Parameter Value Average transport distance 600 km Type of fuel and vehicle consumption or type of vehicle used for transport. Truck Euro 6 (28 – 32 t / 22 t payload). 140 L for 100 km. Truck capacity utilization (including 30% of empty returns) 20 % of the weight capacity Loss of materials in construction site 2% Packaging Wooden pallet 40% recycled, 60% incinerated Packaging Plastic sheet 40% recycled, 60% incinerated The treatment of the packaging waste after the installation of the product (A5) has been considered.
6 EPD Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 The Use stage (B1-B7) includes: - B1: Use - B2: Maintenance - B3: Repair - B4: Replacement - B5: Refurbishment - B6: Operational Energy Use - B7: Operational Water Use Once installation is complete, no actions or technical operations are required during the use stages until the end of life. Therefore, the mineral wool has no impacts (excluding potential energy savings) on this stage. 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. The common manual dismantling impact of insulation is considered as very small and can be neglected in C1. Although Rock Mineral Wool products from Knauf Insulation are partly recycled at their end-of-life, an established collection system does not yet exist. Therefore, the assumption chosen in this study, 100% landfill (C4) after the use phase, is the most conservative approach. Parameter Value Disposal type (mineral wool) 100% landfill Average transport distance waste (C2) 50 km Type of fuel and vehicle consumption or type of vehicle used for transport. Truck-trailer, Euro 3, 34 - 40t gross weight / 27t payload capacity/ 40 L for 100 km. (if 100 % utilization). Truck capacity utilization 50 % of the weight capacity Module D includes reuse, recovery and/or recycling potentials. According to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 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. Benefits considered in module D originate from packaging recycling or incineration. Recycled material For 2019 year, the external recycled waste as raw material is 31.88% originating (mainly) from slags. Additional information: All raw materials for the manufacturing of the declared product, the required energy, water consumption and the resulting emissions are considered into the LCA. Consecutively, the recipe components with a share even less than 1% are included. All neglected processes contribute less than 5% to the total mass or less than 5% to the total energy consumption. For information, the impact of the Rock Mineral Wool plant construction or machines, are not taken into account in the life cycle assessment. No allocation is carried out for this specific product. Knauf Insulation adopts a “worst case” approach into its EPDs. Conversion factor for this EPD is 0.42 for 1 kg. In principal, an insulation product should always be characterized by its thickness and an R value, only taking into account the product's weight could lead to wrong interpretation.

12 EPD Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 LCA interpretation ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS All impact categories, except the Abiotic Depletion Potential Element and the Ozone Depletion Potential, are dominated by the manufacturing processes. This can be explained by the huge impact of the energy use (electricity, natural gas and coke) for Rock Mineral Wool production. In almost all impact categories, the transport to installation (module A4) is quite visible because of the transport emissions. The end-of-life of the product has almost no influence as almost no emissions from inert waste occur (modules C2 & C4). The Global Warming Potential (GWP) is dominated by the manufacturing in the cupola, mostly due to CO2 emissions from raw materials and energy consumption (50%). The production of the binder has very low impact as this is bio-based. The Ozone layer Depletion Potential (ODP) is mostly influenced by the installation phase (module A5) and the incineration of the packaging and its end-of-life management. The Acidification Potential (AP) is also dominated by the manufacturing due to the emissions related to the processes and the energy consumption. The Eutrophication Potential (EP) is significantly influenced by the manufacturing due to emissions from cupola furnace, curing oven and other unit processes. The Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) is particularly dominated by the manufacturing (emissions in the cupola furnace and other unit processes). The Abiotic Depletion Potential Element (ADPe) is mainly due to the raw material extraction. The Abiotic Depletion Potential Fossil (ADPf) is dominated by the use of coke as energy carrier. Next to the coke, we have also the impact of natural gas and upstream the electricity energy mix. -20%0%20%40%60%80%100%GWP-total (kg CO2 eq.)ODP (kg CFC 11 eq.)AP (mol H+ eq.)EP-freshwater (kg P eq.)POCP (kg NMVOC eq.)ADP-minerals&metals (kg Sb eq.)ADP-fossil (MJ)A1-A3A4 TransportA5 InstallationC2 TransportC4 DisposalRecycling/ Recovery/ Reuse
13 EPD Rocksilk® Fabrication Slab, HUSH Slab 100 RESOURCES USE Total Use of Non-Renewable Primary Energy Resources (PENRT) is dominated by the manufacturing of rock mineral wool products (especially due to the energy carrier, coke). Total Use of Renewable Primary Energy Resources (PERT) is dominated by the manufacturing, mostly due to electricity consumption and packaging. For the Use of Secondary Material (SM), it consists of slags.
