General comment on data set LIP Folie G3 is a waterproofing membrane to be applied under ceramic tiles and natural stones. The EPD refers to the specific product. EPD type: Cradle to gate with options, and with modules C1-C4 and module D. Kiwa-Ecobility Experts shall not be liable with respect to manufacturer information, life cycle assessment data and evidence.
Scenarios
  • Scenario: Standard scenario (Default) - All datasets chosen for the LCA refer to the EU as the geographic reference. Transport distances for all raw materials used (raw materials, operating materials, packaging) could be recorded. A payload factor of 50 percent was used for all truck transports (suppliers, disposal transports and internal transports), which corresponds to a full delivery and empty return trip. A data set for a non-specific truck was used for phase A2. For the end-of-life waste scenario 100% landfilling has been assumed. The end-of-life waste scenario per input material has been chosen and for each row material 100% landfilling has been modeled. No CO2 certificates were considered. The distance between the production and the construction site (Module A4) was calculated based on the sold products in 2021. Accordingly, it was calculated the product was partially distributed by road (536 km) and partially by ship. As means of transportation truck (unspecified) and transoceanic freight ship were chosen. The installation of the waterproofing membrane is usually conducted manually. A reject or unused portion of 7% of the waterproofing membrane is assumed during the installation process (Module A5). For the Module C1 (demolition) it has been assumed that it can be considered irrelevant, because no significant additional energy is needed for the demolition of waterproofing membrane within an applied system. E.g., if the waterproofing membrane is applied under tiles, the demolition energy for the removal of tiles will not be considerably higher if the waterproofing membrane is applied underneath. The end-of-life waste scenario per input material has been chosen and for each row material 100% landfilling has been modeled under the consideration of suitable loads and benefits. Note: The transport distances of the waste are based on the standard waste scenarios of the NMD Determination Method (SBK 2019): incineration 150 km/ recycling 50 km / landfill 100 km; vehicle: truck, unspecific. According the EN 15804, loads are credited in Modules A3 or C3 to C4 and benefits are credited in module D. For all road transports, the environmental profile of a non-specific truck transport was used (conservative assumption): The vehicle operates with diesel, and it provides a fleet average that includes different lorry classes as well as EURO classes. This environmental profile contains data for transport, which is calculated for an average load factor, including empty return trips (EcoInvent 3.6).

Technology description including background system LIP Folie G3 is a 3-ply waterproofing membrane made of polyethylene (PE) membrane and two outer layers of polypropylene (PP) non-woven. The manufacturing is located in Germany [production site code: 001]. The top and non-woven (PP) are already supplied and delivered as a finished product. The non-wovens are laminated to the up and downside during extrusion process of the LDPE sealing layer. Subsequently a logo is printed on the product, and it is cut in size. Finally, the rolls are stacked on reusable pallets and in packed in foil.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
