Product information

Particle Board(P2)

Product nameParticle Board(P2)
Product identificationP2 is particle board, which is engineered wood-based panels manufactured by bonding wood particles with adhesives through a specific production process. P2 refers to particle board for use in furniture under dry conditions.
Product descriptionParticle Board uses imported high-quality pine wood as raw material, uses environmentally friendly glue. The whole production process goes through steps like drying, screening, paving, etc. The "core" layer of the board adopts a criss-cross directional paving method. The core layer is arranged horizontally and the surface is arranged vertically. It has strong nail holding force and low water absorption expansion rate. It's also easy to process and not easy to deform. The board surface is super flat which can be compared with medium and high density fiberboard, suitable for various process and melamine lamination. It can be widely used for all kinds of finished furniture and customized furniture, bookcases, bedrooms, whole house customization especially whole house space for children's standards. The reference service life of the Particle Board is 15 years.
Product information from external sourcesMore information and explanatory materials can be found at: https://www.treezogroup.com
Technical purpose of productThe product is manufactured in compliance with GB/T 4897-2015; Q/QNZ 031-2021 standards.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionThe production process starts with production planning based on customer orders and inventory levels, followed by raw material preparation. Logs are debarked, chipped, and processed into wood flakes or sawdust, which are subsequently dried through a thermal drying process. After drying, the material is screened and classified into surface and core layers. Adhesives (such as urea-formaldehyde resin), paraffin, and other additives are accurately metered and blended with the dried particles. The resinated particles are formed into a loose mat through mechanical and air-flow forming systems, then pre-compacted to improve density and handling stability. The mat is subsequently hot-pressed under controlled temperature, pressure, and speed to achieve the required board density and bonding strength. After pressing, the boards are cut to length, cooled, stacked for conditioning, and then sanded to the specified thickness. Final processing includes cutting to customer-specified dimensions, quality inspection, packaging, warehousing, and shipment of finished products.

Additional information about the underlying LCA-based informationCUT-OFF RULES: This study includes all raw material and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes for which data is available are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass and energy flows per unit process. The total neglected input flows per module is less than 5 % of energy usage and mass. ALLOCATION METHODS: In this study, allocation is conducted in the following order: A. Allocation should be avoided. B. Allocation should be based on physical properties (e.g. mass, volume) when the difference in revenue is small. C. Allocation should be based on economic values. ELECTRICITY MIX: Part of the electricity was purchased from the State Grid, and part was generated by distributed photovoltaic (PV) power generation.The GWP-GHG data for grid electricity are taken from the ecoinvent 3.10 database (The grid electricity factor is represented by the dataset “Electricity, low voltage {CN} | market group for electricity, low voltage | EN 15804, U”, while the photovoltaic electricity factor is represented by the dataset “Electricity, low voltage {CN-SD} | electricity production, photovoltaic, 3 kWp slanted-roof installation, single-Si, panel, mounted | EN 15804, U”). In accordance with Section 4.3.6 of PCR 2019:14 version 2.0.1, the datasets used for modelling electricity and heat include the impacts associated with the construction of the related infrastructure BIOMASS FUEL: Thermal energy used in the production process is generated from biomass fuel, mainly consisting of bark and similar wood residues. The greenhouse gas emissions from biomass combustion are calculated based on the biogenic carbon content of the biomass materials. END OF LIFE SCENARIO (C1-C4): Module C1:There is no energy consumption in the demolition stage. The product is demolished manually. Module C2: An average distance of 80 km is assumed for the transport to landfill site, and 130 km for the transport to incineration facilities. The transportation mode is Lorry 16- 32 metric tons, EURO5. Module C3-C4:Due to the lack of representative and reliable end-of-life treatment data for post-consumer wood products under Chinese conditions, the end-of-life stage is conservatively modelled assuming 100% landfill disposal. BENEFITS AND LOADS BEYOND THE SYSTEM BOUNDARY (MODULE D): At the end-of-life stage, no recycling or recovery routes are considered. Consequently, although Module D is included in the system boundary, no potential benefits or loads beyond the system boundary arise, and Module D results are reported as zero.

Characterisation methodsEN 15804 +A2 LCIA & LCI indicators V1.00 / EN 15804 official
Technology description including background systemThe declared product is particle board (P2 and P6) for use in furniture and interior applications. The core material of the product is imported pine wood, bonded with urea-formaldehyde resin and small amounts of additives. The manufacturing process includes wood particle preparation, drying, blending with resin, mat forming, hot pressing, 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 does not involve energy or material consumption. At end of life, the particle board is assumed to be 100% disposed of by landfill in accordance with the defined end-of-life scenario.
Scrap (recycled material) inputs contribution levelLess than 10% of the GWP-GHG results in modules A1-A3 come from scrap inputs

Description of the default scenarioIn this scenario, the particle board is manually demolished at the end of its service life without energy consumption. The generated waste is transported to a landfill site with an average distance of 80 km by lorry (16–32 metric tons, Euro 5). The particle board waste is assumed to be fully disposed of by landfill, and no reuse, recycling or energy recovery processes are considered. Therefore, no benefits or loads beyond the system boundary are reported in Module D.

AcronymsPM = Potential incidence of disease due to particulate matter emissions; IRP = Potential human exposure efficiency relative to U235; ETP-fw = Potential comparative toxic unit for ecosystems; HTP-c = Potential comparative toxic unit for humans; HTP-nc = Potential comparative toxic unit for humans; SQP = Potential soil quality index.
General disclaimerThe results of the end-of-life stage (modules C1-C4) should be considered when using the results of the product stage (modules A1-A3/A1-A5 for services).
Disclaimer 1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
Disclaimer 2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties of these results are high or as there is limited experience with the indicator.
