Horst J. Bossenmayer(President of Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.) internally x externallyDr. Burkhart Lehmann(Managing Director IBU)Matthias Schulz(Independent verifier appointed by SVR)ProductProduct descriptionKnauf Insulation manufactures glass mineral wool insulation products such as Classic 040, TI 140, TI 140 Decibel, Naturoll 040, EXPERT LRR 040, EXPERT LFR 040, Ekoroll LFR 040 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 040 unfaced rolls are products 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/. ApplicationMain applications for GMW 040 unfaced roll 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 DataGMW 040 un faced 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.

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 lifeThe RSL or durability of GMW 040 unfaced rolls is as long as the lifetime of the building in which it is used. LCA: Calculation rulesDeclared UnitThe declared unit is 1 m³ of glass mineral wool. The density used for the calculation of the LCA is 11.5 kg/m³.Declared unitNameValueUnitDeclared unit1m3Gross density11.5kg/m3Conversion factor to 1 kg0.087-System boundaryThe 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 040 unfaced 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 040 unfaced rolls are used in different 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 building mintenanceandoperation (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. ComparabilityBasically, 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. LCA: Scenarios and additional technical informationThe following technical information can be used for the development of specific scenarios in the context of a building assessment.

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 USEThe 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).
