Transparent board PMMA, extruded

This data set has been modeled according to the European Standard EN 15804+A2 for Sustainable Building. Results are depicted in modules that allow the structured expression of results over the entire life cycle.

The LCA of transparent panels on a polymethyl methacrylate basis covers the cradle-to-gate phase, that is, mainly an extrusion process using PMMA granulate. The percentage of the softening agent is 10%. The system boundaries are represented by the finished product with a density of 1.19g/cm3 and a thickness between 1-25mm. Transports from the factory to the point of installation are not considered and must be included according to the system boundaries. In module C1, a manual dismantling (no loads) is assumed, collecting losses are neglected. The transport in module C2 to the recycling plant takes place with a truck (50km). Module C3 takes into account the grinding and thermal treatment (combustion) of the material. When calculating combustion emissions and credits, the specific calorific value of each material and the material composition are taken into account. In module D credits for the substitution of electricity (German electricity mix) and thermal energy (from natural gas) are given.
