BBL Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is also called impregnated paper laminated wooden flooring, which is a floor made by impregnating one or more layers of specialized paper (decorative paper) with thermosetting amino resin, laying it on the surface of artificial board substrates such as particleboard and high-density fiberboard (HDF), adding a balance layer on the back and a wear-resistant layer on the front, and then hot pressing.

Description of the default scenario in module CIt is assumed that 75% of the wastes used as raw material for incineration plants due to their high calorific value and 25% of the wastes send to the landfill site. For the waste scenario, 100km of road transportation (C2) from home to waste treatment site is assumed. According to BBL, the laminate flooring tile can be manually removed from the floor, hence input and output is omitted in deconstruction (C1), and waste processing (C3) stage of the tile life cycle.

Disclaimer 1The 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.
