This one figure covers both together; no split between them is given.
You buy the product for a building that is not yours. The product and its installation go to category 1, the delivery to category 4. The use stage belongs to the building owner; demolition waste you handle is category 5.

Module by module, up to the total
Seventeen EN 15804 modules, always in the same order. Each declared one moves the running total. D sits below zero after the total, because it is reported beside it.

About this factor
From EPD Danmark
What it is
The main product components are shown in the table below for products with the following thickness: laminate and chipboard of 12/20/29/39/51/57 mm, laminate and fibercompact of 13 mm, linoleum and chipboard of 21/30/40 mm, linoleum and fibercompact of 14 mm, compactlaminate of 12/16 mm.What it includes
This EPD is based on a Cradle-to-Grave LCA, in which 100 weight-% has been accounted for. The general rules for the exclusion of inputs and outputs follows the requirements in EN 15804, 6.3.5, where the total of neglected input flows per module shall be a maximum of 5 % of energy usage and mass and 1 % of energy usage and mass for unit processes.Where it applies
Wood-based countertops are durable surfaces for everyday use in kitchens and bathrooms in residential and professional settings. They serve as work surfaces for food preparation, washing and other daily activities, and are available in various dimensions, colors, patterns, cut-outs and edge profiles.Source and licence
