2.5 Base materials / Ancillary materials

2.6 ManufacturePVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets are manufactured in a dual-stage process.In a first step, the raw materials are blended and plasticised on an extruder. The synthetic mass is rolled out into foil on a calander.In a second step, the foils are reinforced with polyester fabric in the centre. Some PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets feature special fleece lamination on the underside.After cooling and final edge trimming, the products are packed.All production waste incurred is recycled in-plant and redirected to the manufacturing process.Permanent measurements of product quality and continuous improvement of the internal processes is ensured by the application of a Quality Management system in accordance with /DIN EN ISO 9001/.

2.7 Environment and health during manufacturing

The TLV values are regularly examined and maintained in production. In addition to general occupational safety measures for commercial operations, preventive measures are also offered and implemented.National and plant-specific environmental-protection requirements are observed during the manufacturing process. Cooling water for cooling the products is managed in a cycle. Optimum use of raw materials is achieved through in-plant recycling.

2.8 Product processing/InstallationPVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets can be installed as follows: · Laid loosely and mechanically fastenedThe products are laid loosely and mechanically fastened using approved fastening elements on the edges or in the centre. Overlapping seams or cover foils are hot air-welded.

· Laid loosely and ballastedThe products are laid loosely and ballasted with gravel or paving surfaces or under green areas. Overlapping seams are hot air-welded. · Adhered The fleece-laminated products are partially or fully adhered to the surface using 1C PU adhesives. Overlapping seams or cover foils are hot air-welded. The relevant standards and guidelines (e.g. /DIN 18531/, /DIN 18195/ and the technical rules of the German Roofing Trade, Guidelines for flat roofs), installation specifications and manufacturers’ information must be observed for all types of installation.PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheet leftovers can be re-used or disposed of as mixed building and demolition rubble (waste code key 17 09 04 in accordance with the List of Wastes Directive /AVV/).

2.9 PackagingThe PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets are wound on cardboard rolls and packed on wooden pallets. Loads are secured with PP straps and PE shrink hoods. All packaging materials are recyclable.When sorted and collected separately, they are taken back for recycling by INTERSEROH (INTERSEROH certificate 27113).

2.10 Condition of useThere is partial migration of the plasticiser during the period of use. This causes gradual hardening of the PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets.

2.11 Environment and health during useDuring use, PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets do not have any negative impact on the environment or user health.

2.12 Reference service lifeThe reference service life is dependent on the thickness of the roofing and waterproofing sheet and possibly the surface protection (gravel, green roof) used.When installed correctly, empirical values indicate that an anticipated service life of more than 30 years can be assumed for BauderTHERMOFOL U20.

2.13 Extraordinary effects

WaterWhen used as designated, the declared PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets are insoluble in water and

5 Environmental Product Declaration Paul Bauder GmbH & Co. KG – BauderTHERMOFOL U / M

resistant to exposure to water. Water tightness has been tested in accordance with /DIN EN 1928/.

Mechanical destructionNo products or special waste harmful to the environment are incurred when PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets are destroyed.

2.14 Re-use phaseWhen the use phase has expired, PVC-P roofing and waterproofing sheets are de-constructed and directed to material recycling.Roof structures laid loosely are suitable for single-variety de-construction. Adhesive and fleece residue is inevitable for adhered roof structures. After thorough cleaning, material recycling takes the form of crushing and separation. Then the old plastics are directed to the material circuit.Thermal utilisation is also possible after expiry of the use phase. Energy contained in the declared products can be recovered by incineration in incineration plants.

2.15 DisposalThe waste key codes in accordance with the European Waste Catalogue and the List of Wastes Directive /AVV/ are listed below for the individual product components.

PackagingPackaging material is disposed of by INTERSEROH AG. The packaging components incurred during installation in the building bear the following waste key codes: · EWC 15 01 01: Paper and cardboard packaging· EWC 15 01 02: Plastic packaging· EWC 15 01 03: Wood packaging

End of LifeAt its EoL, the product has the following waste key code:· EWC 17 09 04: Mixed building and demolition rubble with the exception of those covered by 17 09 01, 17 09 02 and 17 09 03 As a general rule, material recycling should take preference over landfilling (incineration).

3.3 Estimates and assumptionsNo estimates and assumptions were made which would be of relevance for interpreting the Life Cycle Assessment results.

3.4 Cut-off criteriaWithout exception, all material and energy flows incorporated in the product system were taken into consideration. It can be assumed that the total of all neglected percentages by mass does not exceed 5% of the results in the impact categories.

3.5 Background dataThe /GaBi/ software for modelling the life cycle was applied for comprehensive analysis. All background data sets were taken from various /GaBi/ data bases and the /ecoinvent/ data base.

3.6 Data qualityThe background data sets from the /GaBi/ data bases used for the analysis refer to 2013; some of the /ecoinvent/ data sets used are more than 10 years old but are regarded as the most suitable data available for modelling the product system under review. The

6 Environmental Product Declaration Paul Bauder GmbH & Co. KG – BauderTHERMOFOL U / M

/ecoinvent/ data can generally be classified as conservative based on available empirical values.The data on the products under review was recorded using analyses of internal production and environmental data, and LCA-relevant data within the supplier chain. The data recorded has been examined for plausibility and consistency with the result that good representativity can be assumed.

3.7 Period under reviewThe data recorded referred to the analysis period of 01.01.2012 to 31.12.2012.

3.8 AllocationThe material input and output flows were recorded on the basis of the corresponding production volumes.

The energetic input and output flows were considered using the corresponding total volumes from 2012 and allocated to production on the basis of measurements of consumption.The credits from Modules A5 and C3-1 are indicated in Module D-1 while credits from Modules A5 and C3-2 can be seen in Module D-2.

3.9 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. .

6. LCA: Interpretation

On the basis of the current CML version (April 2013), an evaluation of the environmental impacts permits the following interpretation:

8 Environmental Product Declaration Paul Bauder GmbH & Co. KG – BauderTHERMOFOL U / M

Module A1-3 has a dominant influence on all environmental impacts. In terms of the carbon footprint (GWP), the PVC compound manufactured is

particularly responsible for the emission potential, accounting for approx. 50%. The PVC granulate used accounts for 40% while plasticisers account for around 25%. The use of energy in production accounts for approx. 10% while the reinforcements and fleece linings make up for around 5% of the total GMP for Module A1-3. Transport to the customer does not display any major environmental relevance (A4) while product installation at the building site (A5) makes a minor, yet noteworthy, contribution on account of the packaging materials incurred and energetic sealing with hot air. Transport associated with disposal (C2-1/C-2) has hardly any influence on the result. Likewise, recycling the product at the EoL implies hardly any environmental impacts (C3-1) while landfilling the product and the emissions associated with the incineration plants (C3-2) make a high contribution to the overall results (almost 50%).
