Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis of the declared products covers “Product Stage” A1-A3, C1-C4+D modules in accordance with EN 15804 and ITB PCR A (cradle to gate with options). Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculation. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 2% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804+A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA.
Technical purpose of product or process This declaration covers box furniture, wardrobes, shelving units, storage units like C8, STEPPS, WOO, QORE, L2, K2, TIVI, K CABINETS. STEPPS Modular Stepps shelving units are the foundation of visual organization of objects. They are a must-have for people who value beautiful order in their surroundings combined with functionality, precise construction, and solid execution. The Stepps shelving unit is a universal and timeless piece of furniture, and its undeniable advantage is the fact that it can easily be adapted to other furniture in the room. The shelf modules allow for the creation of wall-mounted, corner, and freestanding shelves with access from both sides. Their stable construction is created by interconnected metal ladder shelves at heights ranging from 1 to 7 shelf levels. Stepps shelving units have no limits in their use, as they are perfect for both a wide range of offices, homes, and public places. QORE Qore is a modular storage furniture system designed as the organizational core of the office — its base and point of reference. Just as the core forms the foundation of a structure, Qore brings order to space by integrating functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics. Its minimalist form, refined proportions, and flexible configuration make it possible to create both standalone pieces and expanded layouts tailored to users’ needs. Qore supports everyday work in modern offices, executive rooms, and open-plan spaces. L2 Small storage lockers, providing a variety of alternative choices. Locker cabinets are units of small compartments locked with a key or combination lock, with an optional paper slot drop. A practical solution to store personal belongings in offices, changing rooms or dining facilities. A well-thought out structure which enables limitless configurations and arrangements, but most of all, which permits an ergonomic design of even the tiniest space. A large diversity of cabinet front and body colours allows to individually design the space in order to satisfy the needs of every interior. K2 The K2 container system is a proposal for complementary furniture, compatible with all office furniture and reception desk systems. The most important feature that distinguishes K2 containers is their functionality and ease of use. The equipment is selected individually, so the product will fulfill its role in industries of different specifics. K2 adapts to the user and their needs. K2 containers are available as standard without handles, but there is also the possibility of their installation. They are available in two depths and in versions with legs or wheels. Above all, these are solid and stable pieces of furniture, which also make perfect seating. They can be additionally equipped with a counterweight that stabilizes the entire structure, which is particularly useful in containers with file frames, and drawers can be equipped with organizers that allow for maintaining order in handy items. TIVI Tivi TV cabinets are synonymous with minimalism, elegance, and reliable functionality. They offer a thoughtfully designed storage solution that adds charm to any interior. Ideal for conference rooms, common areas, and home interiors where aesthetics and order are of utmost importance. Tivi is a product dedicated to those who value high-quality craftsmanship, refined details, and distinctive design. It meets the expectations of the most demanding users, enhancing the prestige and functionality of any space. Available in several sizes, they can easily be adapted to various spatial layouts. All additional technical information about the product is available on the manufacturer's website and catalogues. -
General comment on data set The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by the producer. No specific data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. The background data for the processes come from the following resources: database Ecoinvent v.3.11 and KOBIZE (Polish electricity mix and combustion factors for fuels). KOBIZE data is supplemented with Ecoinvent data on the national electricity mix impact where no specific indicator data is provided. Specific (LCI) data quality analysis was a part of the input data verification. The time related quality of the data used is valid (5 years). The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB ’s document PCR A. Production of the covered furniture products is a complex process (as presented in Figure 2) conducted in the manufacturing plant located in Tarnowo Podgórne. Input and output data from the production is inventoried and allocated to the production on the mass basis. The declaration covers all furniture products manufactured in the plant. Their production resources and processing stages are basicly similar, so it is possible to average the production by product weight. Minimum 99.0% input materials and 100% energy consumption (electricity, gas, other) were inventoried in a processing plant and were included in the calculation. In the assessment, all available data from production have been considered, i.e. all raw materials/elements used as per formulation process, utilized thermal energy for heating , and electric power consumption. Thus, material and energy flows contributing less than 1 % of mass or energy have been considered. It can be assumed that the total sum of neglected processes does not exceed 1 % of energy usage and mass per modules A or D. Machines and facilities required during production are neglected

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.
