From EPD Danmark
What it is
Tufted carpets for use as floor coverings in buildings. Important: The layer thickness is indicative. See product information for specific values.What it includes
Foreground system: The product is partly produced using electricity covered by Guarantees of Origin (wind energy) during the production (A3). Remaining electricity processes are modelled using the Danish residual grid mix. Background system: Upstream and downstream processes are modelled using the European grid mix. The products declared within this EPD are covered by harmonized technical specification EN1307. Declaration of performance according to EU regulation 305/2011 is available for all declared product variations according to EN14041. Further technical information can be obtained by contacting the manufacturer or on the manufacturers’ website: https://www.egecarpets.com/carpets The product certificates are available by choosing the carpet in question and selecting the matching quality and backing, after which the certificates are presented and available to download.Where it applies
