Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis of the declared products covers “Product Stage” A1-A3, A4, 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.

General comment 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 3.10 data. The energy consumption of production and its impact on the production lines 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 billets a line process executed by Extral Sp. z o.o. in plant located in Rybnik (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 billets. 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.

Technical purpose REMELT Aluminium ingots are a brand of Extral products with high quality parameters, produced from recycled raw materials and manufactured with an above-standard share of scrap, amounting to approximately 98%. Remelt billets are produced using the low-emission LCO2ET (Low CO2 Emission Technology) process, which utilizes mathematical models. This approach significantly reduces energy consumption during production, thereby effectively contributing to lower CO2 emissions and the protection of the natural environment. Diameter of ingots 7”, 8”, 10” i.e. 178, 203, 254 mm. The aluminium billets are produced using the following aluminium alloys from group AlSiMg: 6060, 6063, 6005A, 6082. Maximum length of ingots - 8000 mm The plant uses purchased green electricity. Ultimately, the plant will use 100% green energy. All additional technical information about the product is available on the https://extral.com/en and producer’s catalogues. -
