Scope 3, category 1 3.2

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.

Later, when it happens

At end of life, in the year of demolition

  • End of life Scope 3, category 5 0.0163

Outside the scopes, reported separately

  • D −0.193

A4, B1 to B7 and C1 to C4 are not declared: nothing to report.

About this factor

From EPD Danmark

What it is

The product is used as a classic manhole cover, but can be integrated into any coating so that any expression or design is not affected by the need for a manhole cover.

What it includes

Det særlige kendetegn ved brønddækselet, er at det kan kamufleres. Elektricitet er modelleret med dansk residual el i Ecoinvent 3.11.

Where it applies

Jesmig Group ApS’ brønddæksel er lavet til at være fuldt funktionelle brønddæksler, men kamufleret. Produktet er særligt godt til at sikre at et eventuelt design ikke bliver negativt påvirket af at skulle have et brønddæksel.
