| Product description | Tufted carpet tile with regenerated PA6 pile material and ECT350 felt (PET) backing. Solution dyeing method. Total thickness: approx. 7 mm. Surface pile mass 500 g/m2. Use classes according to CEN/TS 15398 : Class 33 – Commercial – Heavy.

We recommend using a technical lifetime of 15-20 years when implementing the data presented in this EPD in building LCAs. PA6, PET and PVB contains recycled content. |
| Technical purpose of product | A carpet tile's technical purpose is to provide the functions to a building rather than aesthetics. Such as Acoustic Control, Thermal Insulation and Surface Friction and Safety while being easy to install and maintain. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | The carpets and carpet tiles are manufactured through several stages. First, the carpets are either woven at Ege Carpets in Røjle or tufted in Herning North or Gram. The pile materials used in the weaving or tufting process include wool, a mixture of wool and virgin polyamide 6.6, virgin polyamide 6.6, virgin polyamide 6, recycled polyamide 6, or a mixture of virgin polyamide 6.6 and polyester. Some of the carpets are dyed and include a backing process. Carpets designated to become carpet tiles are then cut in Herning. During tile cutting, latex and foaming agents are incorporated. |

| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | This EPD is generated by Tyréns EPD-generator 4.0.0 – Ege Carpets. The tool is verified Daniel Böckin, Miljögiraff AB. Cut-off: All underlying processes modeled follow the ISO standard and are called “cut-off” in Ecoinvent. The basis for allocation according to cut-off is that the first primary product always bears the environmental burden for its entire production. No know flows have been excluded based on cut‑off criteria; all relevant material and energy flows have been considered in accordance with EN 15804. Allocation: Manufacturing processes are allocated to the products using mass allocation. Pre-consumer recycled material (industrial waste) is allocated environmental impact from the virgin material through economic allocation. In other words, the recycled material is treated as a co-product of the virgin material-based product. Therefore, the allocation of environmental impact between the co-product and the virgin product is based on the market price of produced product where the waste occurs and the market price of the recycled material. Ege ReUse is a newly established program where Ege Carpets offer to take back used carpet tiles for direct reuse. The purpose of the project is to offer reused carpet tiles on the European markets, as well as offering a non-waste end-of-life pathway for carpet tiles that are no longer needed in their current context. This disposal scenario is not included in the EPD results for module C or D in this study. The table can then be used together with the product weight to construct custom End-of-Life scenarios for different products. The disposal scenario assumes that the substituted carpet consists entirely of virgin material. |
| Version of the EN 15804 reference package | EF Reference Package 3.1 |
| Characterisation methods | EN 15804 reference package based on EF 3.1 has been used. |
| Technology description including background system | The raw materials in A1 are wool, yarn, polyamide, recycled polyamide, fire retardent, acid dyes, alkaline dyes and dye auxiliaries. The packaging materials are wood, cardboard and plastic. The transport distance in A2 is fixed and the transport mode is trucks. In A3, the production consists of several stages of manufacturing. First, the carpets are either woven at Ege Carpets in Røjle or tufted in Herning North or Gram. The pile materials used in the weaving or tufting process include wool, a mixture of wool and virgin polyamide 6.6, virgin polyamide 6.6, virgin polyamide 6, recycled polyamide 6, or a mixture of virgin polyamide 6.6 and polyester. Next, some of the carpets are dyed. During the dyeing process, acid dyes, alkaline dyes, and dye auxiliaries are applied. Following this, they undergo the backing process. In this stage, materials such as PET, PP, polyester, and latex are added to the carpet, along with fillers and flame retardants. Carpets designated to become carpet tiles are then cut in Herning. During tile cutting, latex and foaming agents are incorporated. Carpets that are produced in multiple factories are allocated the impact from all the factories that they undergo any production stage in. All carpets are stored and distributed in Herning. |

Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | When modeling in Simapro, Ecoinvent data (updated November 2023) has been used for secondary data. The database is considered to be of high quality. For some material supplier’s product specific and third party verified EPD’s has been used. The EPD’s used is of high quality. Some EPD lack information regarding propotion of pre- and post consumer recycled material for recycled materials which leads to uncertainties regarding this aspect in this EPD. Certain EPDs do not provide clear data on how recycled materials are divided between pre- and post-consumer sources, which leads to uncertainty in interpretation. Indata gathered from the actual manufacturing plant with product-specific processes, specific amounts, specific waste, and spillage %, specific energy mix, specific transportation distances and transportation type and EPD’s from some of the suppliers are primary data. Primary data are collected directly from supplier and production site. The percentage primary data is estimated in this EPD for module A1-A3. Primary data are related to amount of energy, transportation and direct emission used throughout module A1-A3 and underlying EPD:s. The Reported share of primary data is associated with uncertainty, as one or several EPDs that are used as data sources lack information on the percentage of primary data used. Reference years are 2023-2024 |

| The share of primary data is calculated based on GWP-GHG results. It is a simplified indicator for data quality that supports the use of more primary data to increase the representativeness of and comparability between EPDs. Note that the indicator does not capture all relevant aspects of data quality and is not comparable across product categories. | |||||

Additional environmental information
Ege reuse
Ege ReUse is a newly established program where Ege Carpets offer to take back used carpet tiles for direct reuse. The purpose of the project is to offer reused carpet tiles on the European markets, as well as offering a non-waste end-of-life pathway for carpet tiles that are no longer needed in their current context. This disposal scenario is not included in the EPD results for module C or D in this study. The table can then be used together with the product weight to construct custom End-of-Life scenarios for different products. The disposal scenario assumes that the substituted carpet consists entirely of virgin material.

Scrap input
Since this EPD is generated through an EPD generator, the amount of material scrap input will vary between different products. The list of material scrap inputs in this EPD includes all possible materials that can be used in the EPD generator; however, not every material is necessarily used for this EPD. See more information about scrap input under Product content and Product description.
