It includes the preparation of the precursor materials through to raw material extraction and processing, their transport to the factory and the production itself, including the provision of all supplies and materials, energy, and the complete waste treatment or the residual waste during the stage of production.
A comparison with other products is only allowed by a similar application in the building. In principle, a comparison or evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the datasets are created to be compared to EN 15804 and the product-specific features are considered.0alwitra GmbH & Co.

In this EPD, bitumen compatible roofing and sealing membranes made of EVAC (Ethylene Vinyalcetate Copolymers) are described. The declared product consists of a high- polymer alloy consisting of an EVAT polymer and PVC including additives. The roofing and sealing membranes are produced together with an internal reinforcement by using a calendaring process. The seam is made by using hot air or solvent- welding.
The basic materials and precursors are pre- mixed in a mixer, then plastified in an extruder together with other recipe components. The plastic matter goes through a mixing mill as intermediate step to a calendar, there it is rolled into a roofing membrane and fit with the internal reinforcement. The membrane is cooled down by using cooled rolls, cut to the respective measures and assembled as a rolled product. All non- reinforced production residues (edge stripes) are recycled, i.e. reintroduced into the production process. The production process is according to the quality management system /ISO 9001/ (certificate number 01 100 5463). The certification agency is TÜV Rheinland, Cert GmbH. External quality checks (external monitorings) are done by the governmental material testing institute in Darmstadt.
The packaging materials used (wood, paper/ cardboard, polyethylene foil and polypropylene straps) can be recycled. By assessing groups of identical materials, the packaging materials are taken back by INTERSEROH (INTERSEROH certificate 25288). According to the rules, INTERSEROH collects the packaging at collection points by using swap containers after the request.
EVALON roofing membranes are not re- used in their original form. By separating the groups of identical materials, the membranes can be taken back by the ROOFCOLLECT system. The recyclates can be reintroduced into the membrane production process. Those secondary membranes are used for sealing protection and marking the service track of flat roofs. A thermal treatment at the End- Of- Life is also possible, the energy produced is equal to the combustion of 0.57 l light fuel oil. /AVV number 170904 or 200139.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.The product is used as a roof sealing membrane for pitched and flat roofs.LCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: Wastes reintroduced into the production processed are modelled as closed- loop. In the thermal treatment process, electricity and thermal energy are credited accorsing to the material composition and the net calorific values.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

Carbon storage and delayed emissions: credits associated with temporary (carbon) storage or delayed emissions are not considered in the calculation of the Global Warming Potential impacts for the default impact categories.
Emissions off-setting: not included
Fossil and biogenic carbon emissions and removals: removals and emissions are modelled as follows: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the ILCD list of elementary flows. In the case that the emissions refer to the molecules CO2 and CH4, they are modelled as ‘carbon dioxide (fossil)’ and ‘methane (fossil)’. Biogenic uptake and emissions are modelled separately. For land use change, all carbon emissions and uptakes are inventoried separately for each of the elementary flows. Soil carbon accumulation (uptake) via improved agricultural management is excluded from the model.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Energy Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Refinery Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Agriculture Model DocumentationGaBi Land Use Change Model DocumentationCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).
