| Technology description including background system | Mechanical characteristic The mechanical characteristics of an extruded aluminium profile vary due to the internal geometry of the profile itself, that get chosen by the customer of the organisation. Generally, the aluminium profiles have a high conductivity of heat and electricity and can’t be used to bear loads. They have a weak resistance to orthogonal forces, to which it deforms, but a high resistance to traction and compression. Applications and usage limits The most common applications of extruded aluminium profile are: - Infixes - Aesthetic parts of household implants as AC - Aesthetic details on boats and airplanes - bearing parts for beach chairs And, generally, any use in which a light and resistant profile can be applied. Environmental aspects and conformity For the product, there are no thermal limits inside the range between -50 °C to several hundred Celsius degrees. There are no internal components in the extruded aluminium profile; the internal geometry is created directly in the extrusion process. The profiles are compliant with EN 755 and EN 573 |

Data quality assessment
| Description of data quality assessment and reference years | Data quality assessment Data quality was assessed in accordance with PCR 2019:14 (v.2.0.1) and EN 15941, considering the following aspects: • Temporal representativeness: primary data collected by Tecnoal S.r.l. refer to the year 2024. Secondary sources are drawn from Ecoinvent 3.11, the latest available release. No data older than 10 years were used. • Geographical representativeness: the modelled processes reflect the geography of the system boundaries. For energy consumption, the site-specific electricity mix communicated by Tecnoal S.r.l. was used for the production sites. Where site-specific primary data were not available, regionally representative European or global datasets were selected from Ecoinvent 3.11. • Technological representativeness: the selected data reflect the technologies used in company processes, ensuring consistency with real manufacturing practices. • Accuracy: primary data, collected at unit-process level, were verified through mass and energy balances. Secondary data were assessed for plausibility and consistency; uncertainty was estimated via Monte Carlo analysis. The uncertainty associated with primary data is considered lower and not directly comparable to that of secondary data. • Reproducibility: the description of processes, sources and methods enables reproduction of results using the same software (SimaPro v10.2.0.2), the same database (Ecoinvent 3.11) and the same characterisation factors (EN 15804 and EF 3.1).

| Description of the default scenario in module C | C1: For the calculation of the contribution to the environmental footprint of the demolition phase, the “Demolition/deconstruction of steel, wood, and other materials” for the evaluation of fuel consumption, while the value of 1,1KWh of electric energy has been adopted as suggested by the PCR. For the creation of the calculation model on SimaPro, it has been chosen the “Diesel, burned in building machine {GLO}| diesel, burned in building machine | Cut-off, U” C2 – Waste Transportation For the transportation of the dismantled profile, given that the usage of Aluminium for energy recovery is minimal and that the great part of it comes to recycling processes, it has been chosen to adopt the 80Km value as shown in the image below. The Ecoinvent process used is “Transport, freight, lorry, 16-32 metric ton, diesel, EURO 5 {RER}| transport, freight, lorry, 16-32 metric ton, diesel, EURO 5 | Cut-off, U” C3 – Treatments for recovery, refurbishing, recycling The end-of-life scenario for an aluminium profile don’t contemplate the direct reuse of the product. The considered processes is the recycling of the aluminium, a process that has been modelled in accordance with the table above. For the modelling of the disposed share of the product in the end-of-life stage, it has been assumed that only the 5% of the weight undergo this kind of process. For the modulization, the rules of the table below can’t be followed because the aluminium waste can’t be assumed as generic inert wate.

| Brief description of the default scenario in module D | potential environmental benefits generated outside the system boundaries |
| Description of the default scenario in module D | Module D This module considers the potential environmental benefits generated outside the system boundaries defined by Modules A1–C4. The scenario accounts for credits arising from end-of-life recycling of the product’s plastic, metal and electronic components, as well as of the primary packaging, which—as previously noted—is disposed of in Module A5. Secondary and tertiary packaging (e.g. pallets or multi-pack cartons) are excluded, as they are attributable to multiple product units and negligible relative to the declared unit, in accordance with the cut-off criteria set out in the PCR. Net benefits were calculated using the formula specified in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC. Y — represents the yield of the material between the “end-of-waste” point and the point of substitution of the primary material. MMR out — the quantity of material leaving the product system and destined for recycling or reuse in a subsequent system, after it has reached the end-of-waste status. MMR in — the quantity of material entering the product system as recycled feedstock (i.e. derived from recycling). EMRafterEoW out — the emissions and resource use associated with the operations required after the materials have reached the end-of-waste status. EVMSub out — the emissions and resource use associated with the extraction and processing of primary materials that are avoided thanks to substitution with recycled material. QPout/QSub — qualitative adjustment factor expressing the quality of the recycled material relative to that of the substituted primary material. Environmental benefit from product recycling The purchased quantities of aluminium have been proportioned on the base of the extruded quantities by Sant’Ippolito plant, with the goal of evaluating the environmental benefits of the recycling of the sold quantities, excluding from the calculation those who were stocked in the warehouse at the end of the year. For the reference quantity of the study (1Kg net weight of product), the assumed values are: Y = 1, Hypothesis is that there are no material loss from the recycling processes; MMR out = 95%, all the aluminium is theoretically recyclable, but bibliography suggest that a fraction of it is not retrievable for recycling. MMR in = 15%, given that there’s no use of post-consumer recycled input, EMRafterEoW out = has been modelled with the process: Aluminium, cast alloy {RER}| treatment of aluminium scrap, post-consumer, prepared for recycling, at refiner | Cut-off, U EVMSub out = 0,95 kg, as the weight of raw materials whose extraction has been avoided.; QPout/QSub = 1, there is no evidence of a quality loss in the recycled aluminium |
