BJARG SWIVEL CHAIRS
Technical purpose of product or process Scandinavian landscape, culture and the lifestyle of local people inspire us to design solutions that focus on minimalism, simplicity and living in harmony with nature. This is how we created Bjarg, which means ‘rock’ in Icelandic. Is the name a coincidence? No, because rock symbolises something permanent, something that can be relied on for many years - and that’s what Bjarg is like. Dive deeper into the story and discover its secret. Key features: - Upholstered seat and backrestheight - Adjustable, 2D, 3D and 4D armrests - Advanced and easy-to-use mechanisms PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Operative chairs BJARG Base versions: five-star, polyamide or aluminium (powder coated or polished) Castors: fi 60mm, self-braking for soft or gard floors Mechanisms: synchronours, advanced synchronous or asynchronous Seat: plywood construction covered with polyurethane foam Backrest UPH version: plywood construction covered with polyurethane foam Headrest (optional): plastic construction covered with polyurethane foam Armrests: 2D adjustable, 3D adjustable and 4D adjustable CERTIFICATES Durability Certificate APPLICATIONS Office Workstations All specific product technical data is available at manufacturer website (https://www.nowystyl.com/en/).
General comment on data set The data selected for LCA analysis originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by Nowy Styl Sp. z o.o. using the inventory data, ITB and Ecoinvent databases. 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 allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB-PCR A v. 1.6. Production line process carried out in four factories of Nowy Styl sp. z o.o. located in Krosno and Rzepedz (Poland). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts from raw materials extraction are allocated in A1 module of the LCA. 100% of impacts from the line production of Nowy Styl sp. z o.o. were inventoried. Utilization of packaging material was taken into consideration. Module A2 includes transport of raw materials such as wood-faced boards, wood, polymer components, steel elements, papers, additives, ancillary materials and packaging materials from their suppliers to Nowy Styl sp. z o.o. in Jaslo and in Rzepedz. Municipal wastes of factory were allocated to module A3. Energy supply was inventoried for whole factory and was allocated to the production. Emissions in the factory are measured and were allocated to module A3. The life cycle analysis of the declared products covers “Product Stage”, A1-A3, C1, C2, C3, C4 and D modules (Cradle-to-Gate with options) accordance with ISO 14040 and PCR A v.1.6. The details of systems limits are provided in product technical report. 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 ITB PCR A v. 1.6., machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA.

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.
