ALUMINIUM PROFILES
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared product covers modules A1-A3, C4 and D (Cradle to Gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804:2012+A1:2013 and ITB PCR A. The details of the system limits are provided in the backgroud report. Energy and water consumption, emissions to air and water as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculations. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, capital goods (e.g. machines and facilities) required for the production and transportation of employees were not included in LCA.
Technical purpose of product or process Aliplast Extrusion Sp. z o. o. offers production of custom aluminium profiles made of EN AW 1050, 6060, 6063, 6005A and 6082 to meet individual customer need. The portfolio (available on the website: www.aliplastextrusion.pl) contains not only standard profiles, but also special section design for individual customer use. Aluminium systems are accompanied by documents of approval for use in the construction industry. Technical approvals, hygiene certificates, ITT testing confirm compliance of Aliplast products with European standards. The aluminium profiles are intended for façades, windows, doors, furniture, lighting profiles, bathroom equipment, internal equipment, railings and building systems, equipment for shops, display units, roofs, sunrooms, gates, balustrade posts, shutters, guide bars, as well as components for the automotive, telecommunication and electronic industries.
General comment on data set The values used to calculate the LCA originate from verified Aliplast Extrusion Sp. z o. o. inventory data and were audited by ITB. The data for the processes come: Ecoinvent database v. 3.7, specific EPDs and ITB-LCI database. Specific data quality analysis was a part of external ISO 14001 audit. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on a product mass basis in accordance with ITB PCR A. Extrusion of the aluminium profiles is a line process in the pressing plant of Aliplast Extrusion Sp. z o. o. located in Lublin (Poland). All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing were allocated in module A1 of the LCA. All impacts from Aliplast Extrusion Sp. z o. o. line production were inventored and 100% was allocated to the production of the aluminium profiles (module A3). Module A2 includes transport of raw materials from their suppliers to the pressing plant of Aliplast Extrusion Sp. z o. o. located in Lublin (Poland). Water and energy consumption, as well as associated emissions and generated wastes were allocated to module A3.

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.
