Life-Cycle Assessment
Cut-Off Criteria
The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated as mandatory in the
reference standard and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or
substances. The study includes all major raw materials and energy consumption. All inputs and
outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There
is no neglected unit process that is more than 1% of the total mass or energy flows. The module
specific total neglected input and output flows does not exceed 5% of the energy usage or mass.
Allocation, Estimates and Assumptions
Allocation is required if some material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately for
the product under investigation. All allocations are made according to the reference standards and
the applied PCR. In this study, allocation has been done in the following ways:
Data type
Allocation
Raw materials
No allocation
Packaging material
Allocated by mass or volume
Ancillary materials
Allocated by mass or volume
Manufacturing energy and waste
Allocated by mass or volume
