KSP-ECO

The KSP-ECO 180.6 II is a representative product of the KSP-ECO product group. This product group covers KSP-ECO profile variants for floor slab thicknesses from approximately 120 mm to 1,000 mm, with corresponding profile heights from approximately 120 mm to 980 mm. The most common applications are floor slabs with thicknesses of 180 mm and 200 mm, typically using profile heights of approximately 160 mm and 180 mm. The profile height is generally designed to be approximately 20 mm lower than the floor slab thickness, although project-specific deviations are possible. For example, for a 200 mm floor slab, profile heights of 150 mm or 190 mm can be manufactured depending on customer requirements. All variants within the KSP-ECO product group follow the same basic construction principle and have a consistent relative composition of the main components. Differences between variants mainly result from the profile height and product weight. These differences do not change the underlying material composition or production process, but only the quantity of material used. The declared product KSPECO 180.6 II is considered representative because it corresponds to one of the most common product configurations and reflects the typical design and material composition of the KSP-ECO product group. The representativeness is limited to KSP-ECO variants with the same construction principle and material composition. For variants with different profile heights or masses, the environmental results of the representative product may be applied by proportional mass-based scaling, provided that the material composition and production process remain unchanged. A typcial conversion factor and range of kg per piece is not available, because the products will be manufactured customer specific.

Technical purpose of productSteel edge protection profiles are used in a variety of applications within the construction sector. They are specifically designed to protect concrete edges and to form movement joints in heavily loaded floor areas. These profiles are particularly suitable for use in environments subjected to high loads from industrial trucks or heavy-duty vehicles, such as warehouses, production facilities, or logistics centers.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionThe manufacturing process for the KSP-ECO involves the preparation and assembly of various components, including edge protection, U-profiles, flat steel, brackets, and connecting straps. The edge protection is cut from 40x6 bright steel (S235JRC+C EN 10277), folded into shape, and prepared with punched holes for assembly. U-profiles and sheet metal brackets are produced by cutting and folding 1.5 mm sheet metal panels, while flat steel is cut to the required length using a band saw. Brackets are fabricated from sheet metal remnants, and BST brackets are trimmed and bent into shape using a bracket bending machine. Connecting straps are cut from 25x3 mm steel strips. During assembly, one half of the edge protection is tack-welded to the U-profile, and the two halves are joined using spring pins and plastic screws with nuts. The upper part, consisting of the edge protection and U-profile, is pre-assembled with flat steel, sheet metal brackets, and additional brackets. These components are then welded together with the BST brackets to complete the assembly. Finally, the finished profiles are packed in sets of 30 on pallets, secured with squared timbers, boards, and steel strapping to ensure safe transportation.

Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information

Power mix:

AVS Fugenprofiltechnik GmbH has its production site in Hattingen, Germany, therefore “DE: Residual

grid mix” from MLC 2025.1 with reference year 2023 (latest available dataset) is used to model the

country-specific electricity with an emission factor of “Climate Change- total” 0.879 kg CO2 eq./kWh.

Cut-off rules:

All known and available primary data of the production processes, incl. raw materials and auxiliaries

were considered. Therefore, no cut-off criteria was applied.

Allocation rules:

Allocation can be divided into allocation of co-product and allocation of waste.

According to PCR 2019:14, chapter 4.6, production scraps can always be considered as waste and

are therefore free of environmental burden. This means that all environmental burdens are attributed

to the steel plate, and no allocation is applied. Allocation of waste shall follow the “polluter pays

principle” according to EN 15804. Therefore, the environmental impacts of waste treatment are

considered in the study. Production scraps are already in the end-of-waste state, so no waste

processing is required. All benefits of energy recovery from product packaging waste treatment in

module A5 are considered in module D. At end-of-life phase, benefits of material recycling (C3) are

also allocated to module D.

During the production phase (A1-A3), allocation is done by mass (annual total consumption divided by

the produced mass). In addition, no further allocation was necessary in the foreground system

(because there is no co-product), and no burdens or benefits are declared from allocation in A1-A3.

Data quality assessment:

The geographical scope of the study is determined by the production by AVS Fugenprofiltechnik GmbH

in Germany. Therefore, German data sets are preferred to be used for the respective processes. If

regional datasets were not available, European or global data were used. For input- and product

transport as well as end-of-life stage European/global datasets were used (geographical scope:

Europe). The geographical representativeness is considered good.

The process data used is based on information provided by AVS Fugenprofiltechnik GmbH and available

supplier-specific EPDl,m,n data are considered in the calculation. Regarding the up-to-dateness of the

process data used, it can be assumed that these reflect the current state of the art. The technological

representativeness is considered as very good.

The reference year 2024 was used as the basis for the process data collected (1-year average is used).

The background data used is mainly based on the period from 2021 to 2024. The temporal

representativeness is considered fair to good.

Further information and assumptions:

Needed machines, plants, and further infrastructure for the production at AVS Fugenprofiltechnik

GmbH are not considered in the calculation.

Assumptions were made for modules A2, A3, A4, A5 and C2. Supplier-specific distances of raw

materials to the manufacturing site (module A2) were provided by at AVS Fugenprofiltechnik GmbH and

involve transportation via container ship driven by heavy fuel oil (2.5 wt.% S) with a capacity of 5.000 to

200.000 dwt and/or via truck with the following assumption: Euro 0-6 mix, 17.3 t payload, 55% utilization.

For A4, a distance of 333 km and for A3/C2, 50 km by truck (Euro 0-6 mix, 17.3 t payload, 55% utilization)

were assumed. For A5 wood from packaging materials is assumed to be incinerated with credits from

energy recovery. Steel bands are assumed to be disposed. C3 considers the following assumptions as

average values for German conditions: Steel (recycling 95% /incineration 5%). C1 is not considered in

this study, because it is outside of the system boundary.

Credits (D) for the avoided production of electricity and steam in another product system due to the

incineration processes of packaging materials were considered. Credits (D) for net amounts of

recycling materials from end of life were also considered. In addition, net amount of credits from end of

life recycling of the joint profiles are also considered by using the dataset “Value of scrap worldsteel”.

The following datasets are utilized for energy recovery credits from incineration in A5: "RER: Electricity

Grid Mix (Sphera)" and "RER: Thermal Energy from Natural Gas (Sphera).”

Default scenario

Name of the default scenarioKSP-ECO 180.6 II
Description of the default scenarioAll inputs and outputs of the production by AVS Fugenprofiltechnik GmbH were considered in the calculation. Emission factors from corresponding EPD documents and suitable datasets were used for the considered raw materials from the suppliers since these materials are not produced by AVS. According to the EPD documents, for production of “Beton steel in Riesa” the GWP total-value of raw material is 0,599 kg CO2 eq./kg, while for production of “Beton steel in Hennigsdorf” the GWP total-value of raw material is 0,461 kg CO2 eq./kg. For production of “Welding” the GWP total is 3,2 kg CO2 eq./kg. The use of these EPD-based emission factors introduces data quality and consistency limitations, as the EPDs may have been developed using different LCA software, database versions, background datasets and methodological assumptions. Therefore, full consistency and comparability between the datasets cannot be ensured, and these limitations should be considered when interpreting the results. Assumptions were made for modules A2, A3, A4, A5 and C2.
