| 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 is similar in all production sites. It comprises of mixing raw materials together. Ready mixed product is then packed into bags for delivery or delivered as bulk in silos. 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. Higher than 10% variation of core environmental indicators of specific plants compared to the average results reported in this EPD in A1-A3: GWPbiogenic -24% to -1%, GWPluluc 0% to 8233%, AP -2% to 12%, EPfreshwater 1% to 20%, EPmarine -1% to 11%, ADPminerals 0% to 17%. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This EPD represents several similar products with <10% variation in A1-A3 GWP-total and is based on a representative product. Products included are weber ML 5 colored Masonry Mortar Mutus, Pallas, Pudas and Suomus, and weber ML 5 T colored Tight Masonry Mortar Mutus, Pallas, Pudas and Suomus produced in Kiikala plant. weber ML 5 is masonry mortar for clay bricks and calcium silicate masonry units. It is used in masonry of clay and calcium silicate masonry units in facades and partition walls, masonry in the cold attic space and so-called cold flue section in the upper part of the chimney, as well as masonry of a separate shell of the fireplace. weber ML 5 T is compact masonry mortar developed for masonry of clay and calcium silicate masonry units in facades exposed to strong slanting rain, 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. Both products come in a variety of colors when the joint's color is to be equivalent to the masonry unit. Delivered in 25kg bags and 1000 kg bags.

| 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. |
