MANUFACTURER

ABOUT LINDAB

Lindab is a leading ventilation company in Europe, offering solutions for energy-efficient ventilation and a healthy indoor climate. The products are characterised by high quality, ease of installation and environmental thinking. In northern Europe, Lindab also offers an extensive range of roof, wall and rainwater systems.

FOR A BETTER CLIMATE

Lindab aims to create a better climate by improving indoor air quality, as people spend a majority of their time indoors. The company contributes to architecture and indoor climate of tomorrow, focusing on energy-efficient solutions for healthy indoor environments.

OUR VISION

Lindab's vision is to be the leading player in ventilation in Europe, focusing on air distribution and diffusion. They offer high-quality products with superior availability, adapting their core ventilation offering to local markets.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VENTILATION

Approximately 90% of the global population breathes poor air daily. Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Common causes of indoor air pollution include mould, chemicals, dust, radon, and cigarette smoke, as well as airborne particles from combustion and industrial processes. Ventilation is presented as an efficient method to remove these pollutants and improve health.

SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

Sustainability is integral to Lindab's strategy, influencing purchases, deliveries, and services. Lindab has three long-term, non-financial targets: increasing employer attractiveness, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and fostering a better working environment. Further details on sustainability work are available at www.lindabgroup.com.

STEEL

Steel offers a long service life, is non-combustible, and meets hygiene requirements. It is fully recyclable. Lindab prioritizes cooperation with steel suppliers developing towards fossil-free steel. The use of steel is the primary contributor to Lindab's CO2 emissions, and the company is working towards near-zero and fossil-free steel by 2026 through collaborations.

MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING (A1-A3)

The environmental impacts considered for the product stage cover the manufacturing of raw materials used in the production, as well as packaging materials and other ancillary materials. Fuels used by machines and handling of waste generated in the production processes at the manufacturing facilities are included. The study also considers material losses during manufacturing and electricity transmission.

The steel raw material is received by Lindab Group's own steel service centre, Lindab Steel AB, and afterwards transported to the Production unit. All components are quality inspected upon arrival.

The steel parts are laser-cut, while the aluminium parts are saw-cut. Waste from these processes (steel and aluminium scrap) is recycled. The grill frame is shaped using a spinning machine. Some parts are welded together, and the grill is painted. Cardboard and wooden pallets are used for transportation. Lubricating oil is used for machines. The power source is hydroelectricity from the Czech Republic. All production waste is sent to a recycling and waste disposal company.

TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION (A4-A5)

Transportation impacts from final product delivery to the construction site (A4) include fuel direct exhaust emissions, fuel production impacts, and related infrastructure emissions. Installation spills and handling of packaging material are considered. Material loss during installation is estimated to be zero.

Transport from production site to customer is calculated based on market share.

Transport from production place to user (A4)

Manufacturing site Total distance (km) Transportation method
CZ 1192+48 Lorry + Ferry

Distance: From production place to Distribution centre (>32-ton lorry, Euro 5, Diesel truck and, Ferry Transport, freight sea). Distance from Distribution centre to customer is set to 300 Km.

PRODUCT USE AND MAINTENANCE (B1-B7)

This EPD does not cover the use phase. These life cycle stages are dependent on how the product is used and should be developed and included as part of a holistic assessment of specific construction works. The reference service life of the product is highly dependent on the conditions of use, average lifespan under normal conditions is minimum 50 years. This is an estimated value based on experience and scientific facts.

PRODUCT END OF LIFE (C1-C4, D)

Energy (0.1kWh) for deconstruction is included in C1. Activities related to steel recycling are included in C3. A recycling rate of 85% (according to World Steel Association, 2020) and a landfill rate of 15% has been assumed for the steel. See below tables for waste scenarios, based on EU statistics.

LIFE-CYCLE PROCESS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The life cycle process begins with Raw material and ancillary material (A1), followed by Transport (A2), and Electricity (A3). Packaging material (A1) is also involved, with Transport (A2). Manufacturing processes include Laser cutting and punching, Spinning, Welding, Painting, and Assembling (A3). Waste and transport (A3) and Packaging (A3) are also part of this stage. Transport to building site (A4) precedes the Use phase (B1-B7). The final stage is End of life (C and D), which includes Deconstruction, Transport, Waste processing, and Disposal.

LIFE-CYCLE ASSESSMENT

CUT-OFF CRITERIA

The study does not exclude any modules or processes stated as mandatory in the reference standard and applied PCR. Hazardous materials are not excluded. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption. Data is robust and captures significant contributors to LCA results. Neglected unit processes are less than 1% of total mass or energy flows, and neglected input/output flows do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass.

ALLOCATION, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Allocation is required when material, energy, and waste data cannot be measured separately. All allocations are done as per reference standards and the applied PCR. In this study, allocation has been done as follows:

Data type Allocation
Raw materialsNo allocation
Packaging materialsNo allocation
Ancillary materialsAllocated by mass or volume
Manufacturing energy and wasteAllocated by mass or volume
