CQuest Bio backing system: Backing compound based on wood resin, containing a recycled filler, glass-fleece reinforcement and polypropylene covering fleece.
The minimum recycled content with a total pile weight of 1500 g/m2 is 71%. The declaration applies to a group if products with a maximum total pile weight of 1500 g/m2. LCA results for poducts with a maximum total pile weight of 600 g/m2 can be taken from the corresponding tables of the annexe. Results for specific products with other total pile weights can be calculated by using equation 1 given in the annexe (see annexe chapter: 'General information on the annexe')100% municipal waste incineration100% recycling in the cement industryScenario 30Tufted modular carpet tiles having a surface pile of continues-dyed polyamide 6 with 100% recycled content and a CQuest Bio backing system.

Technical data:
The performance data listed in the DoP apply.According to the use class as defined in EN 1307 the products can be used in all professional areas which require class 33 or less.EPDFloor coverings.pdfaverage datasetGaBi Database (all versions)GaBi Database Edition 2021, CUP 2021.01Scope:
The manufacturer declaration applies to modular carpet tiles with CQuest Bio backing and a total pile material of max. 1500 g/m2 PA 6 with 100% recycled content. The products are tufted in Scherpenzeel, The Netherlands, or in Craigavon, Ireland. Dyeing of the surface is performed externally. The dyed carpets are back coated in Scherpenzeel.
The declaration is only valid in conjunction with a valid GUT-PRODIS license of the product.
LCA results for products with a maximum total pile weight of 600 g/m2 can be taken from the corresponding tables of the annexe. Specific data for every product within the declared group of products in relation to its total pile weight can be calculated by using equation 1 given in the annexe (see annexe chapter: 'General information on the annexe')
System boundary:
Type of EPD: Cradle-to-grave
System boundaries of modules A, B, C, D:
Modules C3, C4 and D are indicated separately for three end-of-life scenarios:
- 1 landfill disposal
- 2 municipal waste incineration
- 3 recovery in a cement plant
A1-A3 Production:
Energy supply and production of the basic material, processing of secondary material, auxiliary material, transport of the material to the manufacturing site, emissions, waste water treatment, packaging material and waste processing up to the landfill disposal of residual waste (except radioactive waste). Benefits for generated electricity and steam due to the incineration of production waste are aggregated.
Biogenic carbon that is stored in renewable material (wood resin, renewable additives, packaging paper) is taken into account as well as the associated carbon dioxide uptake from the air from which this biogenic carbon comes.
A4 Transport:
Transport of the packed textile floor covering from factory gate to the place of installation.
A5 Installation:
Installation of the textile floor covering, processing of installation waste and packaging waste up to the landfill disposal of residual waste (except radioactive waste), the production of the amount of carpet that occurs as installation waste including its transport to the place of installation. Generated electricity and steam due to the incineration of waste are listed in the result table as exported energy.
Biogenic carbon that is stored in renewable materials in installation waste and packaging paper is released as carbon dioxide emissions into the air at the end of life in module A5.
Preparation of the floor and auxiliary materials (adhesives, fixing agents, PET connectors) are beyond the system boundaries and not taken into account.
B1 Use:
Indoor emissions during the use stage. After the first year, no product- related Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions are relevant due to known VOC decay curves of the product.
B2 Maintenance:
Cleaning of the textile floor covering for a period of 1 year:
Vacuum cleaning – electricity supply.
Wet cleaning – electricity, water consumption, production of the cleaning agent, waste water treatment.
The declared values in this module have to be multiplied by the assumed service life of the floor covering in the building in question.
B3 - B7:
The modules are not relevant and therefore not declared.
C1 De-construction:
The floor covering is de-constructed manually and no additional environmental impact is caused.
C2 Transport:
Transport of the carpet waste to a landfill, to the municipal waste incineration plant (MWI) or to the waste collection facility for recycling.
C3 Waste processing:
C3-1: Landfill disposal needs no waste processing.
C3-2: The impact from waste incineration (plant with R1>0.6), generated electricity and steam are listed in the result table as exported energy. The biogenic carbon that is stored in the renewable materials of the floor covering is released into the air as carbon dioxide emissions.
C3-3: Collection of the carpet waste for recovery in the cement industry, waste processing (granulating), transport to the cement plant, emissions from the incineration. The biogenic carbon that is stored in the renewable materials of the floor covering is released into the air as carbon dioxide emissions.
C4 Disposal
C4-1: Impact from landfill disposal. The biogenic carbon that is stored in the renewable materials of the floor covering is released into the air as carbon dioxide emissions.
C4-2: The carpet waste leaves the system in
module C3-2.
C4-3: The pre-processed carpet waste leaves the system in module C3-3.
D Recycling potential:
Calculated benefits result from materials exclusive secondary materials (net materials).
D-A5: Benefits for generated energy due to incineration of packaging and installation waste (incineration plant with R1 > 0.6),
D-1: Benefits for generated energy due to landfill disposal of carpet waste at the end-of-life,
D-2: Benefits for generated energy due to incineration of carpet waste at the end-of-life (incineration plant with R1 > 0.6),
D-3: Benefits for saved fossil energy and saved inorganic material due to recovery of the carpet in a cement plant.Tufted modular carpet tiles with CQuest Bio backing, aqueous dyed surface and a max. total pile material of 1500 g/m² PA 6 with 100% recycled content.pdfInstitut Bauen und Umwelt e.
