Rockpanel Natural 10 mm

Rockpanel cladding panel for facade applications. The data for 10mm can be scaled to 8mm thickness.Scope and type: This is a producer-specific EPD for Rockpanel Natural 10 mm, which can be scaled to 8 mm. Rockpanel boards are produced in Roermond, the Netherlands. They are applied in various countries. In this LCA, transport to construction site is 150 km. The results in Module A4 can be scaled linearly. For the end-of-life, a Dutch scenario is considered. Rockpanel participates in ROCKWOOL’s RockCycle recycling service. Therefore, it is assumed that 50% of the Rockpanel board waste goes to landfill and 50% is returned to the ROCKWOOL facilities in Roermond for recycling into new stone wool products. These results can be scaled linearly as well in case of other scenarios. LCA method: EN 15804 and ROCKWOOL Group rules for LCA. LCA software and databases: Simapro 9, Ecoinvent 3.6 database and NMD processendatabase v3.9. Characterisation method: EN 15804 +A2 EF 1.0Representativeness: Rockpanel Natural 10 mm can be scaled to 8 mm by multiplying the results by 0,8.Calculation rules: The Rockpanel data are collected for the full year 2022 and are fully technological and geographical representative as there is only 1 production location, in Roermond the Netherlands. Mass and energy balance are >95% complete. Data quality for the production data is very good. Background data are <10 years old. GWP-b is calculated manually, according to NMD guidelines. Ecoinvent data include capital goods, which are excluded for the ROCKWOOL production facilities. Ecoinvent data exclude long-term emissions.Scenarios and additional technical information Rockpanel is made out of stone wool fibres, which are produced from non-scarce natural stones (basalt), secondary materials/fuels and briquettes consisting of stone wool waste from both production and the recycling service ROCKCYCLE for construction & demolition waste, secondary materials and by-products from other industries such as slags, alumina and cement. The stone wool fibres are pressed and a binder is added. Finally, the panels are packed on return pallets.Declaration of SVHC: The products do not contain substances listed in the candidate list (ECHA PR/19/12) exceeding 0.1 percentage by mass.More information: www.rockpanel.com
