Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information

The allocation principles and hierarchy acc. to PCR 2019:14 is applied in this study, in details:

  • Allocation shall be avoided as far as possible by dividing the unit process to be allocated into different sub-processes.
  • The principle of no double counting or omission of inputs and outputs through allocation is applied. This means that the sum of allocated inputs and outputs of a unit process shall be equal to the inputs and outputs of the unit process before allocation.
  • The energy and waste amounts used in the study have been measured for each production machine and for each unique product size and thus avoided the allocation of electricity consumption and waste per each machine.

Declared net benefits and loads from net flows leaving the product system, which have passed the end-of-waste state, have been included in Module D. No allocation procedure for recycling and recovery has been applied in this study

Module A5: Installation in the building

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A5Installation (A5)
Brief description of the default scenario in module A5This module considers the installation of the product
Description of the default scenario in module A5During installation the new filter comes in original packaging that can be used during the deinstallation process of the already used filter. The modelling of packaging in the installation stage reflects the typical operational practice, where the packaging of the new filter is reused for the removal and transport of the used filter. This approach avoids double counting of packaging flows across replacement cycles. The reuse described refers to operational handling within the same lifecycle stage and does not result in outputs of components for reuse (CRU) as defined in EN 15804. Although an initial (first-time) delivery may introduce an additional packaging unit, this is considered a one-off situation and not representative of the recurring use pattern, which is the primary basis of this assessment. Therefore, the model assumes that one packaging unit serves both delivery and return functions, and a single disposal is accounted for in Module A5. This assumption is not expected to materially influence the overall results.

Module B1: Use

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module B1Use (B1)
Brief description of the default scenario in module B1This module considers the dust accumulation during use
Description of the default scenario in module B1The Opakfil ES filter captures airborne dust during operation. Module B1 covers dust accumulation throughout use. The filter is replaced at a final pressure drop equal to 3× the initial pressure drop or +100 Pa, whichever is lower, per EN 13053:2019. The real dust load is estimated based on the ISO A2 Fine Dust test. Dust composition depends on air quality and location, and particulate matter reduction (PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀) is modelled using generic urban air datasets.

Module C: End-of-life

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module CEnd of life stage (C)
Brief description of the default scenario in module CEnd of life stage (C1, C2, C3, C4)
Description of the default scenario in module CThe scenarios for modules C1-C4 are realistic and representative of one of the most probable alternatives. The scenarios do not include processes or procedures that are not in current use or whose feasibility have not been demonstrated. A distance from the user site to the waste management facility is as below which is assumed to be a representative average for both rural and urban areas in Asia. The C3 module is declared in this study even there is no activities or flows exiting the system were accounted for, thus no environmental impact was recorded. The disposal of the used filters in a landfill, including the dust accumulated during use, is accounted for in this module. The total weight of the filters, as disposed in the landfill, is presented below. Packaging disposal is accounted for once within Module A5, thereby avoiding double counting across the product replacement cycle. As the deinstallation process is fully manual, no energy use or other quantified process parameters are associated with this stage.

Reference service life

Description of the default scenario in reference service lifeIt is assumed for this type of product that the reference service life of the filter is one year. The service life of the filter is dependent on the end user choice; it also differs for different types of installations and the geographical location of the end user’s site. However, one year is an average lifetime of the filter, based on dust loading and related to its pressure drop increase, that results in high energy consumption. In addition, due to hygienic reasons it is recommended to exchange the filters after one year.
