Product information
Macadam 32/63
| Product name | Macadam 32/63 |
|---|---|
| Product identification | The product is an aggregate of fraction 32/63 and classified according to UN CPC 15 320. The following technical standards are applicable for the product: EN-13242+A1:2007 -Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction |
| Product description | The product consist of mixed granite-mica gneiss and can for example be used in civil engineering work and road construction. |
| Technical purpose of product | The product can for example be used as filling material in civil engineering |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | When extracting virgin rock at the site, the first step is to remove the overburden, like soil, moraine and vegetations, with an excavator to uncover the hard rock. Consideration is taken to animals inhabiting the site by avoiding felling vegetations during the breeding season. The overburden is normally stored within the quarry to be used in rehabilitation of the quarry at the end of life. After removal of the overburden, holes are drilled, filled with explosives and detonated. The number of holes drilled depends on the amount of rock to extract at each blast. The explosives are normally taken to the site by tanker trucks. The explosive is in most cases a two-component product that is mixed and activated when pumped down into the holes. Hence, no explosives are stored at site. After the blast, the raw material is fed into the production process using a combination of excavators, wheel loaders and/or dumper trucks. The continued production process is a combination of material feeders, conveyor belts, crushers and screens that transports, breaks and sorts the material into different products. |

| LCA Software | LCA for Experts (formerly GaBi Software) N/A |
| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | Assumptions and approximations Various oils and lubricants used in the production process, are approximated with a dataset for lubricants since no dataset or EPD were found for hydraulic oil or grease and the impact is judged to be similar. Transport distances have been approximated together with operational experts at the site, based on location of raw material supply. Data regarding the use of fuse cables and fuse heads is difficult to obtain and therefore the use of these consumables has been estimated based on information from another site. The wear of manganese steel from crushers is estimated based on values from another site, since there are no current data available. Equipment for mobile crushing is transported to the site. Average weight of the equipment used are based on data from several sites. The consumption of diesel, lubricating oil and washer fluid by drilling rigs is allocated by its average consumption per working hour and the number of working hours. The data regarding consumption of grease, lubricants, glycol, AdBlue, as well as the different types of waste, was received from the subcontractor in aggregated form based on figures from Hujala and another nearby quarry. The allocation of these consumables to Hujala was done based on comparing production volumes between the two sites. The electricity used at the site is mainly linked to other activities than the production of aggregates, as other type of operations are carried out there as well. However, as a conservative assumption, half of the electricity use is allocated to the production based on information from an operational expert. Allocation The consumption of explosives is allocated equally on all products originating from blasted rock, based on mass. Explosives are not allocated to products not originating from blasted rock. Since the declared product originates from blasting, the consumption of explosives is allocated based on mass. The electricity consumption is known for the production process as a whole. Since the electricity consumption is known for the production process as a whole, allocation of electricity is made based on knowledge about the mass of rock going through each process step. The fuel consumption is known specifically for some process steps, since it’s known which machines are used specifically in those process steps. In combination with knowing what process steps each product go through, this use of fuel is allocated between the products. Some machines are however used in several process steps and it’s therefore difficult to allocate this specific use of fuel to certain process steps. Regarding this use of fuel, as well as fuel used for general activities on site, fuel is allocated on all products produced based on mass. Cut-offs The following cut-offs have been made: –The amount of oil-contaminated soil due to spillage from machines/vehicles is very difficult to estimate. Based on internal expert knowledge, this amount is deemed negligible and very rarely occurring. –The packaging for the input materials used in the production process are negligible. –Glycol is used for antifreeze liquid preservation on engines, used little and rarely, so is it not included in the calculation. –Fuse heads and fuse cables, used for igniting explosives, is excluded from the calculation since those are used in a very small amount. |

Default scenario
| Name of the default scenario | Relocation of aggregates |
|---|---|
| Description of the default scenario | A minor part of the aggregates are relocated, for example at the road where it is located. The material could for instance be used to fill an embankment in the proximity. This is expected to occur within a 100-year time horizon. |
Module C: End-of-life

Module D: Beyond product life cycle
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module D | Replacing production |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module D | Replacing primary production of virgin aggregates |
| Description of the default scenario in module D | The net load relates to the transport of the excavated material. This is assumed to be 3 km transported by a small truck (approximately 9 tonnes payload capacity). The benefit gained is equal to the virgin aggregates that are substituted. This is assumed to replace the product group with the lowest environmental impact produced at the site (module A1-A3) (conservative assumption). |
Additional scenario 1
| Name of the additional scenario | Aggregates remain in construction |
|---|---|
| Description of the additional scenario | The majority of the aggregates (excluding the asphalt and concrete applications) stay in the construction for a long time period (more than 100 years). Thus, it is assumed that the aggregates do not reach the end-of-life stage. |
Module C: End-of-life
| Description of the additional scenario in module C | The majority of the aggregates (excluding the asphalt and concrete applications) stay in the construction for a long time period (more than 100 years). Thus, it is assumed that the aggregates do not reach the end-of-life stage. |

| Disclaimer 1 | The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero. | ||||||||||||||||

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Description of how the averages have been determined | All products within this EPD carry the same environmental impact as they all have been produced from the exact same production processes. Therefore, the results are representative for all all products in this EPD and are actually not average results but specific results for all products. |
