Ownership and limitation on use of EPD
Limitations
EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.
Ownership
The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

| Technical purpose of product | Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a thermal insulation material intended for use in building applications as part of the building envelope, such as walls, roofs, and floors. Its technical function is to reduce heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments by providing thermal resistance within construction assemblies. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | Production of EPS panels at the IVAS EPS+ plant in San Mauro Pascoli (Italy) includes the following phases: - mixing white eps beads - pre-expansion of EPS beads; - stabilization, drying, and aging of the pre-expanded material; - molding or block forming of the EPS; - EPS block pressing; - cutting and finishing of the panels; - packaging of the finished product. |

| Technology description including background system | The product system includes the manufacturing of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation boards through pre-expansion of polystyrene beads, aging, moulding or block production, and cutting to final dimensions. The process includes internal handling, packaging, and waste management. Foreground processes cover all on-site manufacturing steps, including energy consumption (electricity and steam), auxiliary materials, and production waste. Background processes include the production of raw materials (polystyrene beads, additives, and blowing agents), electricity generation, steam supply, and transport of inputs to the manufacturing site. These processes are modelled using secondary data from LCA databases compliant with EN 15804 requirements. |
| 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 | Primary data used for the core manufacturing processes refer to the reference year 2024 and are based on actual production data collected from the manufacturing site. Secondary data are sourced from recognised LCA databases compliant with EN 15804 (e.g. ecoinvent or equivalent), and refer to recent available datasets representative of European average or specific regional conditions. The data quality is considered good in terms of temporal, geographical, and technological representativeness. Primary data are fully representative of current production conditions, while secondary data reflect state-of-the-art background processes available in the selected LCA database. Data completeness and consistency are ensured according to EN 15804+A2 requirements. |

| Total share of primary data, of GWP-GHG results for A1-A3 | 12.8% | ||||
| 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. | |||||

|---|---|
| Description of the default scenario | The scenario covers the transport of EPS insulation boards to the construction site (A4), their installation in building applications (A5), and the end-of-life treatment of the product (C), including transport, waste processing, and final disposal or recovery routes. |
Module A4: Transport to the building site
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A4 | Transport to site |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module A4 | The scenario covers IVAS shipments to distributors and transport in Europe |
| Description of the default scenario in module A4 | To calculate the impacts of transporting the finished product to the installation site, it was considered that this transport takes place by truck or ship. The countries of destination of the finished product are Italy or Spain, so also at this stage a precise distance was considered. |
Module A5: Installation in the building
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A5 | Installation of EPS |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module A5 | Module A5 includes installation activities of EPS insulation boards, including produc |
| Description of the default scenario in module A5 | The installation phase has no direct environmental impact as it is done manually. The only accountable impacts, in this case, derive from the plastic film with which the EPS panels are packaged to be shipped and which at this stage is sent for disposal. |
Module C: End-of-life
| Explanatory name of the default scenario in module C | End-of-Life |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module C | End-of-life assumptions (C1–C4): demolition, transport and waste treatment phase data |
| Description of the default scenario in module C | C1: for the demolition/deconstruction phase of the material, the use of a diesel-powered machine with a power of 1,1 kWh per tonne of material was considered, as indicated in table 4 of PCR 2019:14. C2: the distance for transport from the de-installation site to the waste treatment site was considered to be 130 km, as indicated in Table 4 of PCR 2019:14. C3-C4: for the waste treatment phase, different percentages of recycling, energy recovery and landfill disposal were considered, distinguishing them for Italy and Spain on the basis of data from technical literature (UEMEPS study). For Italy a percentage of 8% recycled material, 30% energy recovery and 62% landfill disposal were assumed. For Spain, 6% of the waste material is sent for recycling, 22% for energy recovery and the remaining fraction, 72%, for disposal in landfills. |

| Disclaimer 1 | The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero. | ||||||||||||||||

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Justification for why this is representative | The EPD is based on a representative product named Converto 31 BW that is 12 cm thick. Although the best-selling product was the one with a thickness of 14 cm in the reference period, the company chose to conduct the study on the thickness of 12 cm to ensure comparability of environmental results between the LCA report of the CONVERTO 31 G PLUS product, CONVERTO 31 BW and the CONVERTO 35-100. |
