Specialty fabrics NICOLON® Tunnel Net R875

A textile-based solutions for agricultural, recreational and specialty marketsScope and type: The geographical location is EMEA and the product is manufactured in Hengelo, the Netherlands. Background database used for the calculations is Ecoinvent version 3.6 in combination with the Ecochain Helix 4.3.1 LCA software. The EPD is a Cradle-to-grave EPD.Representativeness: In this study a specific product is considered, produced at a specific production site.Calculation rules: Cut off rules All primary data of the production processes were considered. No materials or processes have been excluded from the study. Data quality Data flows have been modeled as realistically as possible. Data quality assessment is based on the principle that the primary data used for processes occurring at the production site must be of higher quality than background data of other processes. Where this is not available, other reference data is selected from appropriate sources. Data collection period The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2023. Methodology and reproducibility The process descriptions and quantities in this study are reproducible in accordance to the reference standards that have been used. The references of all sources, both primary and public sources and literature, have been documented. In addition, to facilitate the reproducibility of this LCA, a full set of data records has been generated. Allocation In accordance with the respective methodologies, the allocation procedures in the background processes are deemed to be consistent.Scenarios and additional technical information Product stage (A1-A3) The processes in A1-A3 consists of the extraction and processing of raw materials, transportation of the raw materials, the manufacturing process and product packaging. The required energy for production, external treatments, ancillary materials, packaging material and production emissions are included. Energy consumption was modelled based on a residual energy mix. Construction Stage (A4-A5) This life cycle stage details all impacts related to the transport of product to the construction site and on-site activities related to installation. This also includes any waste produced and its disposal. Transport to construction site (A4); the transport distance of single journey to the construction site of a product produced in the Netherlands is 150 km. Assembly (A5); no impacts are associated with the installation, as the product is typically unrolled off suspended rolls manually. However, the environmental impacts related to the disposal of packaging material are considered.Declaration of SVHC: None of the substances contained in the product are listed in the "Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for authorisation", or they do not exceed the threshold with the European Chemicals Agency.

NICOLON Specialty fabrics are engineered with advanced application knowledge to meet the needs and specifications for various markets such as horticulture, livestock, mushroom, crop farming, trampoline, pool covering, containment, filtration, transportation, and industrial components. NICOLON Tunnel Nets and Glide Nets are indispensable when emptying compost tunnels. These high-quality textile nets allow you to do this quickly and efficiently, without leaving any compost in the tunnel. Differences between types of tunnel nets are found mainly in tensile strength, aeration and pulling temperature. Specialty fabrics NICOLON Tunnel Net R875 is available in various ranges. The following ranges are covered in this EPD: NICOLON Tunnel Net R875 3.15, NICOLON Tunnel Net R875 4.1
