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
Wedges and brackets play an important role in construction as aids for mounting, stabilizing, and assembling building components. Wedges are typically used to adjust and level structural elements such as doors, windows, and floors, ensuring correct positioning and preventing misalignment during installation. Brackets are used to connect or secure building components, such as wooden frames, rafters, and wall elements, and they can be made of plastic to ensure stability, strength, and durability in the constructionWhat it includes
The declared unit is 1 kg. Data covers production of injection-molded plastic elements such as wedges and brackets at the factory in Ringsted. Data for the underlying LCA is based on annual averages for 2023. Background data is based on the ecoinvent v. 3.10 database. The data used is less than 10 years old in accordance with EN15804:2012+A2:2019.Where it applies
Wedges and brackets play an important role in construction as tools for assembly, stabilization and joining of building components. Together, wedges and brackets contribute to creating precision and structural integrity in construction projects. Wedges are typically used to adjust and level structural elements such as doors, windows and floors so that they sit correctly and avoid skewing during installation. Brackets are used to connect or fasten building components, such as wooden frames, rafters, and wall elements, and they are often made of metal to ensure stability, strength, and durability in the structure.Source and licence
