| Declared unit and reference flow | Somplan collections flooring. Unit: Area(m2). Area: 1 m2 |
| Conversion factor to mass | 3.3 |
| Are infrastructure or capital goods included in any upstream, core or downstream processes? | |
| Datasources used for this EPD | ecoinvent database (general) ecoinvent 3.10 database |
| LCA Software | SimaPro SimaPro 9.6 |
| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | According to EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, all available data shall be included. In the event of insufficient input data or data gaps for a unit process, the cut-off criteria should be set at 1% for both renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage, as well as 1% for the total mass input of that unit process. The cumulative neglected input flows A1-A3, C1-C4, and module D, shall not exceed 5% of energy usage and mass. If specific data is missing, proxy data or extrapolation from the database or literature will be utilized. Specific cut-offs applied: A3: Sulfur dioxide emissions (boiler), nitrogen oxide emissions (boiler), and volatile organic compounds, as reported in the annual environmental statistics report, are excluded from this step because their annual production is small and their environmental impact is negligible when allocated to declared unit products. A4: Given the large number of overseas customers and the extensive volume of destination data, only the sea transport segment from the factory to overseas customer regions is included. The subsequent land transport within overseas destinations is excluded, as its contribution to the total environmental impact of the declared unit is negligible and within the allowable cut-off thresholds specified by EN 15804:2012+A2:2019. The following processes are not included in the system boundary: Environmental impact from infrastructure, construction, production equipment, or other capital goods as well as tools that are not directly consumed in the production process are not accounted for in the LCl. Personnel-related impacts, such as transportation to and from work, are also not accounted for in the LCI. These exclusions are estimated to represent less than the allowable cut-off thresholds and do not materially affect the overall environmental profile of the product. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass. |

The core material of the product is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), combined with eco-friendly plasticizer and small amounts of additives such as calcium-zinc stabilizer, heavy calcium powder, marble powder, pigments and PU coating. The manufacturing process includes raw material proportioning and mixing, calendering forming, surface PU coating, cutting and finishing. Primary production data are used for the main manufacturing processes at the production site, while background data for upstream raw materials, energy supply and transportation are taken from recognized LCA databases. The background system covers the production of raw materials, electricity and thermal energy generation, auxiliary materials and transportation. The use stage involves minimal energy consumption related to product cleaning and maintenance. Benefits and loads beyond the system boundary (Module D) assumed that the landfilling of products covered in Disposal,C4 yields no benefits extending beyond the product system boundary.and the heat recovered from the incineration of packaging materials in Construction installation, A5 is quantified and included in the assessment. |
| Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution level | Less than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs |
Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | A1 module, Activity data of raw materials is derived from Tarkett’s production records and BOM lists; emission factors are sourced from the ecoinvent 3.10 and EN 15804 databases embedded in Simapro 10.2 software. A2 module, Activity data of raw material transportation includes the transportation modes and corresponding distances of main raw materials provided by the enterprise, with transportation modes designated by the enterprise. Emission factors for calculation adopt the generic transportation method data from the built-in databases of Simapro 10.2. A3 module, Activity data for production (energy, resource consumption, and waste generation) is collected for the period 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31. Emission factors and environmental impact allocations for this stage follow the physical property-based allocation principle; emission factors for electricity, steam, natural gas and pollutant disposal are all sourced from the built-in databases of Simapro 10.2. A4 module, Activity data for construction process transportation is limited to the sea transport segment from the factory to overseas customer regions (subsequent land transport within overseas destinations is excluded); the collected shipment transport data covers a broader range of product types than the 8 product grades included in this report, and transportation distance is weighted by shipment volume and distance data. For emission factor selection, standard sea transport factors from the built-in databases of Simapro 10.2 are applied for calculation. A5 module,Activity data is based on the actual electricity and adhesive consumption for product installation provided by Tarkett. Additional activity data assumptions include 100% incineration of all packaging materials post-installation, and transportation of packaging waste to incineration facilities via 16-32 ton Euro 5 diesel trucks. Emission factors for installation electricity and adhesive adopt actual and emission factors for packaging waste incineration and its transportation use the corresponding generic data in Simapro 10.2 (matching Euro 5 diesel truck and incineration facility specifications). B2 module,Core consumption data for the cleaning and maintenance stage is assumed based on the maintenance data of various other Tarkett products. Emission factors for maintenance electricity and water consumption adopt the relevant regional and industry-specific factors in the ecoinvent 3.10 and EN 15804 databases embedded in Simapro 10.2. |

Reference service life
| Description of the default scenario in reference service life | For this product, the stated RSL is 1 year. It should be noted, however, that the service life of a polyvinyl chloride floor or covering may vary depending on the amount and nature of floor traffic and the type and frequency of maintenance. The manufacturer has provided this service life on the basis of his experience of flooring manufacture and supply. This RSL is applicable as long as the product use complies with that defined by ISO 14041 and ISO10874 in accordance with the product’s classification.

The loads and benefits result from the recycling of product wastes, also the benefits from the product packaging waste are included. In this LCA study, It is assumed that the landfilling of products covered in Disposal,C4 yields no benefits that extend beyond the product system boundary. The heat recovered from the incineration of packaging materials in Construction installation, A5 is explicitly quantified and included in the analysis.

| Justification for why this is representative | In 2024, a total of 2.17E+06 m2 of Somplan collections floorings(including Somplan 100, SOMPLAN 200, Somplan 350, Somplan 380, Somplan 500, Somplan 600, Somplan 700, and Somplan SC) were produced under this study, of which 1.38E+06 m2 of Somplan 350 were produced, accounting for 63.45%. Considering that Somplan 350 is the highest-yielding product in the Somplan collections flooring and far exceeding the production share of the second-highest-yielding product in the series. In accordance with the production volume principle for EPD representative product selection, Somplan 350 is designated as the representative product for this report due to its substantial output advantage. |
