Use advice for data set All processes from raw materials extraction to product transportation to the building site, assembly as well as end of life stage and phases beyond the system boundary (A1-A5, C1-C4, D) are included in the analysis. The basic production process comprises of mixing raw materials together. Ready mixed product is then packed into bags for delivery. Most representative packaging is selected for the LCA. At assembly phase, water is added according to the instructions and it is mixed. Stage B is not considered. When building is de-constructed at the end-of-life, the structure with mortar integrated into it is crushed. 90% of crushed material is recycled and used to replace natural gravel in soil construction, remaining 10% being disposed to landfill. System boundaries (cradle-to-gate with options) are illustrated in the picture below.
Technical purpose of product or process weber ML 5 PT Frost Tight Masonry Mortar is frost compact mortar developed for masonry of clay and calcium silicate masonry units in facades exposed to strong slanting rain under winter conditions. It is suitable for e.g. sites located on banks and shore lines, in open places or where higher than usual protection against weather stress is desired for the structure. weber ML 5 PT can be used to build structures in winter conditions down to -15 °C. It reduces the water permeability of the shell wall by up to a third compared to conventional masonry mortar. Thus decreasing the frost stress in the structure due to wetting. The product is grey in color. Delivered in 1000 kg bag. GTIN: 6415990125543. The composition of the product is described in the following table:

General comment on data set Data quality: Specific data for the product composition are provided by the manufacturer. The data represent the production of the declared product and were collected for EPD development in the year of study. Background data is based on EPDs according to EN 15804 and different LCA databases. The data quality of the raw materials in A1 is presented in the table below. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of EN 15804. Incoming energy and water and waste production in-house is allocated equally among all products through mass allocation. Effects of primary production of recycled materials is allocated to the main product in which the material was used. The recycling process and transportation of the material is allocated to this analysis. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential energy is included. The production processes for raw materials and energy flows with very small amounts (less than 1%) are not included. These cut-off criteria do not apply for hazardous materials and substances.

1This 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.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
