Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner
Invernizzi SpA is a leading family-owned company since four generations, firmly established on the domestic and the international market of wood processing and poplar plywood and poplar particleboard manufacturing. It was first set up as a sawmill back in 1875 by Libero Invernizzi, then on January 15th 1940, Giuseppe Invernizzi founded in Gussola, Cremona, Italy, the company “Giuseppe Invernizzi e Figli” a small craftmanship dedicated to wood processing. After World War II, Giuseppe’s children, Costantino and Alberto, further developed the company to include manufacturing of wooden packaging for local food products, such as cured meat, mustard ad jam. It then started producing poplar plywood in the early Fifities, becoming one of the most important players on the Italian market. Then, in 1973, in Solarolo Rainerio, Cremona, Italy, the Invernizzi family founded IPAS S.R.L., a company specialized in manufacturing poplar particleboard panels. In 1996, Giorgio Invernizzi took over the management and with a far-sighted perspective joined the two companies, establishing the headquarters in Solarolo Rainerio, thus establishing the current INVERNIZZI S.p.A. This brave choice resulted in a stronger competitive advantage and one of the first proofs of the integral and sustainable exploitation of a precious raw material such as poplar wood. Despite the subsequent enlargements and the latest organizational and structural changes, the company is and wants to remain a family company. Family Invernizzi has always been the propelling heart of the company, as its members passed over from father to son the skills, the motivation and the enthusiasm. Still today, the family and the company are intertwined. Giorgio’s kids, Laura and Giuseppe, now represent the fourth generation of an industrial family proud of its history. Following their predecessors’ footsteps, they join their father as company leaders, bringing their own personal touch, ideas and skills. Reliability, flexibility and dedication are the pillars of the Invernizzi brand name, whose mission currently is: • Offering an exclusive product range; • Promoting sustainability throughout the entire supply and production chain; • Creating added value to the customer by means of a transparent customer-oriented organization; • Supporting continuous improvement by spreading a culture of high-quality products all over the supply and production chain; • Increasing competitiveness and revenues in a more and more demanding market. Nowadays, the company headquarters and facilities are located in Solarolo Rainerio (Cremona), in Northern Italy – UE, over an area of more than 246.000 square meters of which more than 39.000 are indoor with 190 employees. INVERNIZZI SPA is a market leader in the plywood sector, well-known all-over Europe and overseas for the high quality and technical performances of its products, which can also be PEFC, CARB phase 2, E1, NAF, CE 2+ and FSC® certified. These certifications and the best industrial practices, testified by the continuous investments in state of the art technology (new dryer to be fully operational shortly) witness the company’s engagement towards the creation of a strong and efficient industrial model, which is sustainable and future-oriented. Further to that, INVERNIZZI SPA is in a process of substantial growth and aims at getting further international acknowledgment. The company exports around 50% of its products in more than 18 countries. The main end markets for Invernizzi products are: automotive and recreational vehicles (RV), furniture, coffins, building and construction and wood product dealers. One of the main reasons of the company’s competitive advantage comes from the productive complementarity between the two production lines, since the company’s manufacturing facilities are divided into two different sections, one dedicated to the plywood production and the other to the chipboard. Both are interconnected, as the sanding and trimming residues of plywood panels produced are milled and end up into the chipboard production line, thus creating a perfect synergy between the two production lines. This represents a virtuous example of production circularity in the INVERNIZZI world. This “green path” towards efficiency and sustainability has always been at the heart of the company’s industrial philosophy. It all started back in 2006 when INVERNIZZI SPA was among the first companies in Italy to set up a cogeneration plant in its premises by producing electrical energy through burning methane gas. This allowed the company to be self-sufficient in terms of energy. This project, through the exploitation of a renewable energy source, represents and confirms the company’s commitment for the protection of the global environment. Apart from that, the company never abandoned its original raw material, which is mainly Italian poplar, locally harvested, contributing to develop both its farming and industrial potential, promoting the local economy and the conservation of the local surrounding landscape. Moreover, INVERNIZZI SPA is constantly working to produce low-emitting plywood panels by developing new bonding techniques, bio-based and made with natural ingredients. This represents a further step towards a responsible and sustainable production, which is closer to mankind and the environment. The final step in this path is represented by the installation of photovoltaic panels on the shed of the new dryer, that came into operation in July 2022. The system contains 1090 panels.

| Manufacturing or service provision description | IGNIPASCOMP fire retardant poplar plywood by INVERNIZZI is a natural product, manufactured using poplar veneers that are fire-treated individually, then superposed on each other and glued to longitudinal fibres, so as obtain a fully fire resistant board. The special technical processes and exclusive know-how make IGNIPASCOMP poplar plywood panels extremely resistant to fire. In fact , the product is classified according to the UNI EN 13501-1 standard and therefore complies with the fire reaction Euroclass B-s2,d0. The production process starts with the impregnation of green veneers in an autoclave. The treated impregnated veneers are then cut into shape and enter the second production phase, the drying. Once dried, the veneers are sorted out for the panels to be produced according to their thickness and enter the panel production phase of gluing. The glue mixture (mainly melamine-urea-based polymer + hardener) is spreaded over the veneers, which are then overlapped manually by operators in a perpendicular pattern. The panels are then pressed at high temperature and then they are squared and trimmed to the final marketable dimensions. The panels enter the finishing line through the sanding process. They are then labelled according to the desired quality, packed and stored into the loading warehouse, ready to be shipped to their final destinations. |

Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | The data used to define the inventories of the production process of Ignipascomp plywood panels refer to the year 2024. The activity data used of phases A1-A3 were provided directly by Invernizzi S.p.A. In particular, these data concern the quantity of wood processed to produce the panels, the volume of product (plywood and chipboard), and the mass of co-products (poplar slices, rounds and wood chips) produced in the reference year, the quantity of auxiliary materials (e.g. ingredients of the glue mixture) used in the production process of the panels; the transport distances of the purchased materials, calculated considering the production site indicated by the suppliers, and the type, destination and quantity of waste generated. The data provided are specific to the production processes considered in the study and to the reference period and can therefore be considered to be of very good quality with regard to the temporal, geographical and technological representativeness of the analysed system. Data from the ecoinvent 3.11 database were used to model the inventories relating to background processes (extraction and processing of raw materials, material processing, transport, energy production, end-of-life treatments, etc.). Regarding modules A1-A3: • The datasets concerning wood production have a good technological representativeness, a sufficient geographical representativeness (because they concern forestry activities in Switzerland) and a very good temporal representativeness. • The datasets used to represent the production of auxiliary materials have a good geographical and technological representativeness, because they refer to average European conditions, and a temporal representativeness that varies from very poor (PET production, with data from 1993) to very good (ammonium sulphate production, with data from 2020). • The datasets relating to road transport (also used for the distribution phase) have poor temporal representativeness (because they are based on data referring to the period 2007-2013, depending on the parameter considered), good technological representativeness and good geographical representativeness (average European conditions). • The dataset used to represent electricity production through cogeneration has a good temporal representativeness (data referring to the year 2020), a good geographical representativeness (European average data) and a good technological representativeness (cogeneration plant fueled by natural gas, with power similar to that of the plant present on the Invernizzi site). |

Description of the process flow diagram(s)
IGNIPASCOMP fire retardant poplar plywood by INVERNIZZI is manufactured using poplar veneers that are fire-treated individually, then superposed on each other and glued to longitudinal fibres, so as obtain a fully fire resistant board. The production process starts with the impregnation of green veneers in an autoclave. The treated impregnated veneers are then cut into shape and enter the second production phase, the drying. Once dried, the veneers are sorted out for the panels to be produced according to their thickness and enter the panel production phase of gluing. The glue mixture (mainly melamine-urea-based polymer + hardener) is spreaded over the veneers, which are then overlapped manually by operators in a perpendicular pattern. The panels are then pressed at high temperature and then they are squared and trimmed to the final marketable dimensions. At the end of life the panels are partly recycled into wood chips and partly incinerated with energy recovery.

| Brief description of the default scenario in module D | Material recovery (recycling of wood) and energy recovery (electricity and heat) |
| Description of the default scenario in module D | The benefit deriving from the recovery of material was modeled by assuming wood chips as the avoided product. To calculate the potential benefits from energy recovery, the following information is considered: − Lower calorific value of wood: 13.99 MJ/m3 − Combustion efficiency: 60%, i.e. an energy recovery of 5.23 MJ/m3 − Distribution of recovered energy equal to 67% heat, 33% electricity, as indicated in the ecoinvent dataset referring to the incineration process with energy recovery of the wood material. It is assumed that the heat generated avoids the production of heat in a natural gas-fired plant while for electricity the dataset representing the Italian electricity mix is used. |
