| LCA Software | SimaPro 10.2 |
| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | All known inputs and outputs for each unit process were included in the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculation. Data collection was performed in accordance with the requirements of PCR 2019:14, v.2.0.1 and EN15804:2012+A2:2019. The procedure for the exclusion of inputs and outputs followed the requirements of EN 15804, Section 6.3.6. No processes were deliberately excluded. In accordance with the PCR, the total of neglected input flows per module is a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass, and at least 95% of the environmental impact per module is included. For any unit process where insufficient data was available, the cut-off criteria of 1% of the total mass and 1% of the total energy of that unit process were applied, although ultimately there was no insufficient data. A screening of all inputs was conducted to ensure that all material and energy flows known to have the potential for significant environmental impact were included. This was confirmed through plausibility considerations and expert judgement by MAX Europe, ensuring that the final results are representative and robust. The exclusion of any flows is documented and justified as not significantly changing the overall conclusions of the study. The processes related to infrastructure, construction, and production of equipment, as well as tools that are not directly consumed in the production process, have been excluded. An exception to this is the infrastructure from modules A1-A3, which is included as energy consumption has a significant contribution to the environmental impact. Personnel-related activities, such as transportation to and from work, have also been excluded. |
| Version of the EN 15804 reference package | EF Reference Package 3.1 |
| Characterisation methods | EN 15804 Version: EF 3.1, February 2023 |
| Technology description including background system | The product considers tying wire used for rebar tying. The main product consists of a polyester coated steel wire, winded on a polypropylene spool. The wire is directly procured from a supplier. The manufacturing process consists of wire winding and automatic packaging. |
| 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 | Data quality was assessed for time-related, geographical, and technological coverage. Overall, 0.9% of the GWP-GHG impact is calculated with primary data. The remaining 90.1% was calculated with secondary data. The database processes selected were also selected based on representativeness. Primary data from the production site is based on a one-year average for the time period 04/2024-03/2025. Geographical representativeness ranges from fair to very good, while technical representativeness is good to very good. No poor or very poor data is used in the study. |

| 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. | |||||

| Justification for the omission of modules | Transport (A4) is excluded as this is customer-specific due to the wide spread of customers. Customers should apply their own transport scenario when applying this EPD. The use stage modules (B1–B7) are excluded from the scope of this study because the assessed product does not require energy, water, maintenance, repair, replacement, refurbishment, or operational inputs during its service life. Furthermore, no emissions are expected |

| Brief description of the default scenario in module A5 | Installation of the wire requires 7.04 kWh of electricity |
| Description of the default scenario in module A5 | The rebar tying wires are assumed to be installed by use of specific MAX Europe tying tools. Installation is based on the energy consumption of the cordless TWINTIER rebar tying tools from MAX Europe, used to tie the wires automatically. For each tonne of material, a total amount of 7.04 kWh of electricity is consumed. This is modelled with the average European consumption mix. Cardboard waste is assumed to be 75% recycled and 25% incinerated with energy recovery. All other materials are assumed to be 100% incinerated with energy recovery. |

| Description of the default scenario in module D | Benefits of steel recycling are calculated using the World Steel Method. This module also includes the benefits from the treatment of packaging materials and treatment of the polyester coating. The yield of the recycling of plastic is assumed to be 100%, yet a quality factor of 0.9 is applied. Energy recovery from fossil sources (packaging materials) is modelled to substitute natural gas-based energy generation. The applied LHV's are taken from the descriptions of the applied ecoinvent datasets. |

| Disclaimer 1 | This 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 2 | The 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. | ||||||||||||||||
| Disclaimer 3 | The results of the impact categories land use, human toxicity (cancer), human toxicity, noncancer and ecotoxicity (freshwater) may be highly uncertain in LCAs that include capital goods/infrastructure in generic datasets, in case infrastructure/capital goods contribute greatly to the total results. This is because the LCI data of infrastructure/capital goods used to quantify these indicators in currently available generic datasets sometimes lack temporal, technological and geographical representativeness. Caution should be exercised when using the results of these indicators for decision-making purposes. | ||||||||||||||||
