LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS

With OpenLCA 1.5 software, Ecoinvent 3.2 database and CML Method, an ecobalance was conducted for threeSR GreenPoxy and our SR 1280.

A critical review of LCA was conducted by an independent third party LCA practitioner O2M Conseil.

The purpose was to estimate Environmental Impacts of our manufacturing and supply process, comparingSustainable Biochemical Chain with a 100% Petroleum Materials Chain – Cradle to Gate.

Impact Environment Units* SR GreenPoxy 28 SR GreenPoxy 33 SR GreenPoxy 56 SR 1280

* Per 1T LER eq. (LCA Data in accordance with ISO 14040/44 conducted in Sept. 2016)

According to this assessment, Carbon Footprint of our bio-based systems is on the average 40% less than aPetroleum based system. Human Toxicity impact of SR GreenPoxy resin systems is 3 times less on theaverage than SR 1280 resin system.
