Disclaimers: This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) conforms to ISO 14025, 14040, ISO 14044, and ISO 21930. Scope of Results Reported: The PCR requirements limit the scope of the LCA metrics such that the results exclude environmental and social performance benchmarks and thresholds, and exclude impacts from the depletion of natural resources, land use ecological impacts, ocean impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions, risks from hazardous wastes and impacts linked to hazardous chemical emissions. Accuracy of Results: Due to PCR constraints, this EPD provides estimations of potential impacts that are inherently limited in terms of accuracy. Comparability: The PCR this EPD was based on was not written to support comparative assertions. EPDs based on different PCRs, or different calculation models, may not be comparable. When attempting to compare EPDs or life cycle impacts of products from different companies, the user should be aware of the uncertainty in the final results, due to and not limited to, the practitioner’s assumptions, the source of the data used in the study, and the specifics of the product modeled.

Origin of Raw Materials
Environmental Product Declaration
Raskin R9 Flooring
PRODUCTION OF MAIN MATERIALS Virgin PVC: Thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride is widely used in a variety of industries, including flooring. It is derived from the chlorination of ethylene and the subsequent polymerization of vinyl chloride. Filler: Material added to product to assure dimensional stability that is predominately calcium carbonate. Plasticizer: Dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP): Organic compound produced from terephthalic acid and ethylhexanol. Utilized to increase the flexibility of PVC raw material. Stabilizer: Common stabilizers used in the vinyl tile industry tend to be produced primarily from zinc, calcium and tin.

Description of Functional Unit This report represents 1 meter square (1 m2) of finished Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). The lifetime of the product is assumed to be 30 years, although the actual lifetime of the product may vary due to floor traffic, maintenance program and aesthetics. As required by the Product Category Rules, the time horizon of this assessment is 60 years. Cut-off criteria Material inputs greater than 1% (based on total mass of the final product) were included within the scope of analysis. Material inputs less than 1% were included if sufficient data was available to warrant inclusion and/or the material input was thought to have significant environmental impact. Cumulative excluded material inputs and environmental impacts are less than 5%, based on weight of the functional unit. System boundaries The system boundaries include sourcing/extraction stage, manufacturing stage, delivery and installation stage, use stage and end of life stage. Primary data are used for the manufacturing, delivery, installation and use stages. Secondary data are used for sourcing/extraction and the end of life stage. Waste for installation and end of life landfilled. Major assumptions used in the assessment include: Generic zinc dataset is an appropriate substitution for the proprietary formulation of stabilizer. §§ DINP dataset is an appropriate substitution for DOTP dataset. §§ Use phase scenarios developed using industry wide data are representative of the use of Raskin Flooring §§ products in the marketplace. China based energy sources are appropriate substitutions for Korean energy sources. §§ For the materials with recycled content, it is assumed that in instances where data is not available regarding §§ the collection and processing of recycled materials, that the material’s virgin equivalent is an appropriate substitution for the recycled pathway. The virgin pathway is considered a conservative (i.e has higher embedded impacts) estimation of the recycled pathway.

Allocation Where possible allocation was avoided. However, when allocation was used, it was calculated on a physical basis. For example, primary energy was allocated based on physical units of production measured in square meters. Allocated raw material inputs were checked against outputs of the manufacturing unit process using a mass balance calculation. Also of relevance to the study is the method in which recycled materials were handled. Throughout the study recycled materials were accounted for via the cut-off method. Under this method, impacts and benefits associated with the previous life of a raw material from recycled stock are excluded from the system boundary. All upstream collection, transportation and reprocessing of recycled materials to to be used in the product are included. Background Data Unit processes were developed with Gabi version 6.107, drawing upon data from multiple sources. Primary data were provided by Raskin Industries. The primary sources of secondary LCI data were: GaBi Databases. Table 4. Background data sources table.

Data quality and data quality assessment Table 5. Data Quality of Life Cycle Inventory Table. Data Quality Parameter
Data Quality Discussion
Time-Related Coverage: Age of data and the minimum length of time over which data should be collected
Overall time coverage of all datasets is excellent and meets the requirement of the PCR that no background data is older than 10 years.
Geographical Coverage: Geographical area from which data for unit processes should be collected to satisfy the goal of the study
Manufacturing geographic coverage of background data is poor. This is due to the limited life cycle based data coming from South Korea. The Geographic coverage of non-manufacturing related datasets is good. Most downstream processes are specific to the United States where better industry wide LCA data is available.
Technology Coverage: Specific technology or technology mix
Overall technological coverage is good and represents best available data for company specific value chain.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STAGES AND REPORTED EPD INFORMATION Sourcing/extraction (raw material acquisition) stage This stage includes the extraction of virgin materials from the earth and the initial processing of extracted material by raw material suppliers. For materials from recycled feedstock, the collection, sorting and reprocessing of these materials is included. Shipping of processed raw materials to the site of packaging is included, as are packaging materials required for shipping.
Manufacturing stage This stage of the life cycle begins when the raw materials are received at the manufacturing facility. Production is completed when the final product is packaged for shipping to the customer. Energy sources utilized in production include both electrical and thermal energy. Water is also utilized in the process. The use of packaging materials necessary to ship the product to the customer is accounted for in this stage of the LCA.
Production waste Production waste is minimized through reclamation and reuse of PVC waste generated in the manufacturing process. Other materials are recycled through local recycling operations.
