Technical purpose of product or process CONKRET has many years of experience in the production and sale of construction & vapour barrier membranes. The main material used to manufacture the membranes is polyethylene as „to re-use material“. The environmental declaration EPD developed within the scope of this document covers 2 products groups: Construction Membranes and Vapour Barrier Membranes. Construction membranes Construction membranes are designated for construction of the damp-proofing layer under floors, floor toppings or screeds. Due to its properties and widths they can be used in all refurbishment and construction works as a layer protecting against damp and dirt. Damp proof courses protects the walls of the building against moisture coming from the ground (capillary moisture), preventing the development of fungi and mold. The construction membranes come in thickness starting from 0,1 mm. 1. Construction membranes according to EN 14909:2012 (Flexible sheets for waterproofing. Plastic and rubber damp proof courses. Definitions and characteristics). 1.1 Construction membranes - construction films 1.2 Construction membranes - horizontal insulations of foundations 2. Construction membranes according to 13967+A1:2017-05 (Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Plastic and rubber damp proof sheets including plastic and rubber basement tanking sheet - Definitions and characteristics. 2.1 Construction membranes - construction films Construction membranes - dimpled membranes & damp proof courses Vapour barrier membranes Vapour barrier membranes are active membranes used as a vapour barrier layers for roofs and walls in case of residential, commercial construction as well as specialized, innovative architectural projects. They come in many colour variations in thickness starting from 0,1 mm. They can be one-two or three layers. Our vapour barrier membranes meet requirements of watertightness at 2 kPa. Mechanical properties, resistance to nail tearing & reaction to fire properties depend on customer preference. Vapour barrier membranes according to EN 13984:2013 (Flexible sheets for waterproofing - Plastic and rubber vapour control layers - Definitions and characteristics) -
General comment on data set The data for the calculation of modules A1-A3 are derived from verified LCI inventory data from the plant. According to Annex E of PN-EN 15804 + A2 data quality assessment was carried out. For technical representativeness, processes with “very good” quality represent 99% of the values for climate change indicators. For geographical and temporal representativeness, the process rating was “very good”. Allocation in this study was created in accordance with the document: ITB PCR A guideline. The production of all products declared takes place at the plant in Wielkie Rychnowo, Poland. Input data for the production plant have been inventoried. The results obtained are representative mass based average for Construction Membranes and Vapour Barrier Membranes produced by CONKRET. All data regarding the recovered materials as well as raw materials used in production are allocated to module A1. The energy and fuel consumption as wel as generating waste for the entire production process has been inventoried and included in module A3. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ITB PCR A, v. 1.6. All materials and energy consumption inventoried in factory were included in calculation. Office impacts were also taken into consideration. In the assessment, all significant parameters from gathered production data were inventoried and were included in the calculations, i.e. all material used per formulation, utilised thermal energy, internal fuel and electric power consumption, direct production waste, water consumption and all available emission measurements. At the production plant were inventoried: - 100% of the input materials; - 100% of the electricity and fuel consumption. The assessment takes into account all relevant parameters from the collected production data including: all materials used for production, packaging materials, electricity used, fuels and direct production waste. Substances with a percentage of less than 1 % of total weight were excluded from the calculation. For the purposes oft he analysis it has benn assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 0.5% of all impact categories.

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.
