| Technical purpose of product or process | Extruding plant Extral specializes in the production of complex aluminum products based on Clients requirements, technical documentation and manufacturing technologies individually developed under each customer project. Special profiles are made on the basis of individual design solutions. Usually subject to further machining and surface treatment. The aluminium profiles are produced using the following aluminium alloys: EN AW-1060 (Al 99,6), EN AW-1070A (Al 99,7), EN AW-6060 (Al MgSi), EN AW-6063 (Al Mg0,7Si), EN AW-6005A (Al SiMg(A)), EN AW-6082 (Al Si1MgMn) and EN AW-6463 (Al Mg0,7Si(B)). Manufacturing of extruded aluminum products is divided into: rods, tubes, sections and extruded profiles. Each of these groups is assigned accordingly to ranges dimensional or wall thickness defined by standards and mechanical properties, fulfilled by the extrusion plant Extral. In cases of non-standard implementations of production on special sections individual mechanical parameters can be agreed in detail with the customer depending on the typology of use of the product and customer expectations. The aluminium profiles can be used for buildings and construction, general engineering, transport, automotive, scaffolding, construction, ladders, electrical engineering, interior design, furniture, intermediaries, machining and other applications. Extral extended its offer for buying of scrap aluminum from the market and from its customers in order to further recycling in accordance with Polish regulations on environmental protection and purchase of waste. |
| General comment on data set | The values determined to calculate A1-A3 originate from verified Process LCI inventory data from manufacturing plant. A1 values were prepared considering input products characteristics and are based on Ecoinvent 3.9.1 data (EF v2). The energy consumption of production and its impact on the production lines (profiles) was inventoried and calculated. For aluminum, the weighted average carbon footprint declared by suppliers was used.In accordance with Annex E of the EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was performed. For technical representativeness, processes with a quality level of "very good" account for 99% of the value for climate change indicator. For geographical and time representativeness, processes level of "very good" is obtained. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. Production of the aluminium profiles a line process executed by Extral Sp. z o.o. in extrusion plant located in Zory (Poland). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production of Extral Sp. z o.o. were inventoried and 100% were allocated to the aluminium profiles extrusion. Water and energy consumption, associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. Packaging materials were takien into consideration. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, A4-A5 transport to site and instalation, 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. Energy and water consumption, emissions 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+A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA. |
