Disclaimers: This EPD conforms to ISO 14025, 14040, and ISO 14044.

Scope of Results Reported: The PCR requirements limit the scope of the LCA metrics such that the results exclude environmental and social

performance benchmarks and thresholds, and exclude impacts from the depletion of natural resources, land use ecological impacts, ocean

impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions, risks from hazardous wastes and impacts linked to hazardous chemical emissions.

Accuracy of Results: Due to PCR constraints, this EPD provides estimations of potential impacts that are inherently limited in terms of

accuracy.

Comparability: The PCR this EPD was based on was not written to support comparative assertions. EPDs based on different PCRs, or different

calculation models, may not be comparable. When attempting to compare EPDs or life cycle impacts of products from different companies, the

user should be aware of the uncertainty in the final results, due to and not limited to, the practitioner’s assumptions, the source of the data used

in the study, and the specifics of the product modeled.

PCR review, was conducted by The Technical Committee of the International EPD® System.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STAGES

The system boundary is cradle-to-grave and includes resource extraction and processing, product manufacture and

assembly, distribution/transport, use and maintenance, and end-of-life. The diagram below illustrates the life cycle stages

included in this EPD.

LIFE CYCLE IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Impact category indicators are calculated using the CML-IA and TRACI 2.1 characterization methods. TRACI 2.1 impact

category indicators include global warming potential (100 years), acidification potential, smog potential, ozone depletion

potential, and eutrophication potential. CML-IA impact category indicators include global warming potential (100 years),

acidification potential, eutrophication potential, Photochemical Ozone Creation potential, ozone depletion potential, and

abiotic resource depletion, in accordance with the PCR. In addition, an estimate of the impacts from land use are reported

(based on the ReCiPe methodology) as are human toxicity and ecotoxicity impacts (based on the USEtox methodology).

The PCR requires that several parameters be reported in the EPD, including resource use, waste categories and output

flows, and other environmental information. The results for these parameters per declared unit are also included below.

Additional life cycle impact results are reported in Table 11 below as optional parameters of concern. These impacts are

calculated using the LEO-SCS-002 framework, which augments the specified impact categories identified by the PCR. Table

12 includes equivalency factors that were determined for the purpose of communicating critical environmental impacts in

simplified terms for better understanding.
