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 stage (C) |
| Description of the default scenario in module C | Dismantling or demolition (C1): This module analyzes the environmental impacts associated with the deconstruction or dismantling of the acrylic waterproofing and protective coating (POLYCRYL PF) on a construction site after its useful life. Module C1 includes all processes and activities used on site for the deconstruction of the product. The consumption of energy and natural resources is negligible for deconstruction of the end‑of‑life product, as demolition of the product is assumed to be done manually. Thus, the impacts of demolition are assumed zero. Transport to waste treatment site (C2): this module considers a default distance of 50 km (distance assumed in most EPD studies), between the construction site where the product was installed and the waste management facility (in this case landfill). Waste treatment (C3): this module covers the process of processing construction and demolition waste prior to disposal. For this study, no specific pre‑treatment is modelled and the removed product waste is considered to be disposed of directly in landfill as the most conservative scenario; therefore, module C3 has zero contribution. Disposal (C4): this module includes the final disposal of waste that has not been destined for recovery or treatment processes. 100% of the product waste is disposed of in landfill after its useful life. Since the product is distributed among several countries, a conservative scenario has been considered to avoid miscalculating the impact of the end of life of the assessed products. |

Credits of the module D are 0 due to the 100% landfill of the product. |
Additional scenario 1
| Name of the additional scenario | POLYCRYL PF (100% recycling) |
|---|---|
| Description of the additional scenario | This represents a hypothetical scenario assuming 100% recycling, meaning the entire product is considered fully recycled at the end of its life cycle. Description of system boundaries: Cradle-to-gate with modules C1–C4, module D and optional modules A4 and A5, covering the modules of extraction and processing of raw materials (A1), their transportation to the production plant (A2), the manufacturing process (A3), transport to construction site (A4), installation (A5), end of life (C1–C4) and potential benefits and loads from the reuse and recycling of the products at its end of life (D). Product stage (A1–A3): Raw material supply (A1): this module considers the extraction and processing of raw materials used for the manufacture of the products. Transport of the raw materials (A2): this module consists of the transportation of all raw materials covered by module A1, from the extraction, production, and treatment site to the factory, considering the specific distances of each material supplier. Manufacturing of products (A3): this module refers to the product manufacturing and/or packaging operations of POLYCRYL PF in the production plant. The raw materials are received and stored at the production site and processed into the final acrylic waterproofing and protective coating according to the defined formulation. After internal controls, the finished product is filled into HDPE buckets (20 L, printed), labeled, palletized and packed. Pallets with the ready-to-use product are stored for a short time in the factory’s warehouses before being delivered to distributors. Production takes place at the Henkel facility in Umm Al Thuoob (UAE), which operates using 100% renewable electricity. Raw materials are supplied globally and transported to the plant before processing into the final product. |
Module A4: Transport to the building site
| Description of the additional scenario in module A4 | The Site-to-site transportation includes the transportation of the finished, packaged POLYCRYL PF from the production facility to the different customer sites (A4).

Module C: End-of-life
| Description of the additional scenario in module C | Dismantling or demolition (C1): This module analyzes the environmental impacts associated with the deconstruction or dismantling of the acrylic waterproofing and protective coating (POLYCRYL PF) on a construction site after its useful life. Module C1 includes all processes and activities used on site for the deconstruction of the product. The consumption of energy and natural resources is negligible for deconstruction of the end‑of‑life product, as demolition of the product is assumed to be done manually. Thus, the impacts of demolition are assumed zero. Transport to waste treatment site (C2): This module considers a default distance of 50 km (distance assumed in most EPD studies), between the construction site where the product was installed and the waste management facility. Waste treatment (C3): This module covers the process of processing construction and demolition waste prior to recovery or disposal. In the 100% recycling scenario, all product waste at end of life is assumed to be collected and sent to recycling, and therefore the waste processing modeled in C3 represents the preparation and routing of the removed product waste for recycling. Disposal (C4): This module covers the final disposal of any waste that is not directed to recovery or treatment processes. In the 100% recycling scenario, no direct landfill disposal of the product is modelled. Any potential disposal of minor recycling residues (e.g., sorting or processing rejects) is considered outside the scope of the product waste stream or assumed to be negligible. Given distribution across multiple countries, a conservative and harmonized end‑of‑life assumption has been applied to avoid underestimation of impacts due to differences in national waste management practices. |

| Description of the additional scenario | This represents a hypothetical scenario assuming 100% reuse, meaning the entire product is considered fully reused at the end of its life cycle. Description of system boundaries: Cradle-to-gate with modules C1–C4, module D and optional modules A4 and A5, covering the modules of extraction and processing of raw materials (A1), their transportation to the production plant (A2), the manufacturing process (A3), transport to construction site (A4), installation (A5), end of life (C1–C4) and potential benefits and loads from the reuse and recycling of the products at its end of life (D). Product stage (A1–A3): Raw material supply (A1): this module considers the extraction and processing of raw materials used for the manufacture of the products. Transport of the raw materials (A2): this module consists of the transportation of all raw materials covered by module A1, from the extraction, production, and treatment site to the factory, considering the specific distances of each material supplier. Manufacturing of products (A3): this module refers to the production process of POLYCRYL PF in the production plant. The raw materials are received and stored at the production site, then dosed and sequentially mixed according to a defined formulation to obtain the final acrylic waterproofing and protective coating. After mixing, product samples are tested in the quality control laboratory, and the finished product is filled into HDPE buckets (20 L, printed), labelled and palletized. Pallets with the ready-to-use product are stored for a short time in the factory’s warehouses before being delivered to distributors. |
Module A4: Transport to the building site
| Description of the additional scenario in module A4 | The Site-to-site transportation includes the transportation of the finished, packaged POLYCRYL PF from the production facility to the different customer sites (A4). The transportation from the facility to customers is therefore estimated by a weighted average distance of 53.4 km based on the market share of customer locations. |

| Diesel, 16-32 tons trucks with 34 L per 100 km fuel consumption | N/A |
Module A5: Installation in the building
| Description of the additional scenario in module A5 | The application of the product is performed manually. In Module A5, only material losses during installation and the end‑of‑life treatment of packaging are considered. No additional materials or auxiliary products are included beyond those already accounted for in the system. |

| Module A5 information | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Material loss | 2 | % |
Module C: End-of-life
| Description of the additional scenario in module C | Dismantling or demolition (C1): This module analyzes the environmental impacts associated with the deconstruction or dismantling of the acrylic waterproofing and protective coating (POLYCRYL PF) on a construction site after its useful life. Module C1 includes all processes and activities used on site for the deconstruction of the product. The consumption of energy and natural resources is negligible for deconstruction of the end‑of‑life product, as demolition of the product is assumed to be done manually. Thus, the impacts of demolition are assumed zero. Transport to waste treatment site (C2): This module considers a default distance of 50 km (distance assumed in most EPD studies), between the construction site where the product was installed and the waste management facility. Waste treatment (C3): This module covers the process of processing construction and demolition waste prior to recovery or disposal. In the 100% recycling scenario, all product waste at end of life is assumed to be collected and sent to recycling. Consequently, the waste processing modeled in C3 represents the preparation and routing of the removed product waste for recycling. Disposal (C4): This module covers the final disposal of any waste that is not directed to recovery or treatment processes. In the 100% recycling scenario, no direct landfill disposal of the product is modelled. Any potential disposal of minor recycling residues (e.g., sorting or processing rejects) is considered outside the scope of the product waste stream or assumed to be negligible. Given distribution across multiple countries, a conservative and harmonized end‑of‑life assumption has been applied to avoid underestimation of impacts due to differences in national waste management practices. |

Reference service life
| Description of the additional scenario in reference service life | The reference service life of the Henkel Product is 60 years. |
|---|
| Reference service life information | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
Reference service life | 60 | year(s) |
Module D: Beyond product life cycle
| Description of the additional scenario in module D | Module D considers the benefits and burdens linked to the processes of recovery, reuse or recycling of waste from the product under study (POLYCRYL PF) at the end of its useful life, which could be part of the life cycle of a new product. The reuse/recycling of the product is modelled to substitute the manufacture of an equivalent new product; therefore, the avoided burdens of modules A1–A3 are reported as credits in Module D, consistent with the EN 15804+A2 substitution/net‑flow approach. |
