It is based on the LCA models created for the latest EPDLA LCA finished in April 2021, which have been updated with PEF-compliant background sources based on Ecoinvent and process-based EF-compliant LCI datasets for energy and transport. The inventory is based on production data from EPDLA members from 2019. The intended use of the dataset is within the context of the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). Biogenic carbon content 0%. Water content 49% 0 2019 2024 Annual average data. No intra-annual or intra-daily differences have been made. Representative data for the year 2012 has been used. Data set valid until end of 2024. European dataset. Representative data for Europe has been used for the foreground and background systems. In the technology description below, specific dataset names refer to the original modelling based on Ecoinvent 3.3. They might have been updated using the names of the equivalent EF-compliant datasets (In particular transport, infrastructure, water, heat, energy and waste datasets). Average production data from EPDLA members from 2019 was considered. Process description: The global market of fatty acids was considered. For acid anhydrides phthalic anhydride was considered. For poly alcohols pentaerythritol was considerd. Activities include the transport of raw materials, production and packaging of resin.

In the foreground system, circular-footprint formula (CFF) approach is applied; the systems does not contain end-of-life co-product or secondary material input in the foreground. The background data uses EF compliant datasets when available, with respective implementation of the CFF approach. When no EF complaint dataset is available, the background is modelled with use of the datasets based on the “Recycled content cut-off” approach to allocate end-of-life by-products and secondary materials. This allocation is explained in the description of the recycled content system model (http://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/cut-off-system-model/allocation-cut-off-by-classification.html). Direct Land Use change: Land use is inventoried through the use of data on: • Land occupation for the current land use (the occupied land is prevented from changing to a more natural state). • Land transformation (from previous land use and to current land use, e.g., the conversion of a former natural area to industrial land; the conversion of a gravel quarry to a natural area by active re-cultivation). Direct land use change is accounted for on the basis of a 20 year time period and implemented in the calculation of Climate Change according to the PAS2050-1:2012 method and Land Use. It should be noted that the land use classes are not intended to capture specific emissions, such as the CO2 emissions after forest clearing. Such emissions are therefore separately included in the datasets for the specific crops that are grown on such recently transformed land. Carbon storage and delayed emissions: All emissions are considered and therefore no credits are given. Emissions off-setting: No offsets are considered. Time period: No time discounting is reported. Emissions and removals are modelled as if released or removed at the beginning of the assessment method. GHG Emission fossil: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the most updated ILCD list of elementary flows. Carbon emissions and uptakes (biogenic): A distinction is made between fossil and non-fossil sources of CO2, CO and CH4. The sources of fossil carbon are the resource inputs of fossil fuels, peat, and mineral carbonates . The resource consumption of “Carbon dioxide, in air” is calculated from the carbon in harvested plants and wild animals and increases in carbon stored in soils and plants. The latter is recorded as an output of “Carbon dioxide, to soil or biomass stock”. “Carbon dioxide, in air” is the only source of non-fossil carbon, which is mainly captured through the biological photosynthesis. Carbon emissions and uptakes – land use and transformation: Reductions in the carbon stored in soils and the release of carbon from the burning of biomass residues in connection to land transformation, e.g. the clear-cutting of primary forests, are recorded in the elementary exchange (resource) “Carbon, organic, in soil or biomass stock”. All of this input is included in the corresponding emissions of Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, and Methane, all with the addition “…, from soil or biomass stock”, and therefore does not contribute to any carbon content of any intermediate exchanges (Overview and methodology Ecoinvent. Section 5.6.2 Fossil and non-fossil carbon). Capital goods are excluded in the foreground modelling as cut-off. None Cut-offs: Capital goods are estimated to fall under cut-off of 3% based on expert judgement. To the best knowledge, there are no other cut-offs as all known energy and material flows within the system boundaries are considered. The reason for this is because all raw materials, transport, and production needs are directly related to the production and completion of the polymer dispersion families up to the factory gate. System boundaries: System boundaries include all processes linked to the product supply chain, i.e. extraction, production, transport, packaging, energy consumption, water consumption and waste treatment activities. No strict quantitative cut-off rule is followed in the background sources. No predefined, limited list of elementary exchanges is applied. Full completeness in elementary exchanges is aimed for. The cut-off rule threshold of 95% is satisfied. Data is consistently based on literature sources, theoretical models and adapted datasets from databases. The relevant background data is sourced from EF3.0 core databases and EF3.0 for chemicals. When processes in these databases were not available, ecoinvent v3.3 database was used (www.ecoinvent.org).

The life cycle inventory is not changed from the original EF3.0 data set. The LCIA results are calculated based on the EF3.1 methods which provide updated characterisation factors in the following impact categories: Climate Change, Ecotoxicity freshwater, Photochemical Ozone Formation, Acidification, Human Toxicity non-cancer, and Human Toxicity cancer. The review report and the data quality ratings refer to the original results. The data set has been updated by the European Commission on the basis of the original EF3.0 data set delivered by the data provider.

Data quality scores were calculated by the data entry practitioner. The assigned scores are plausible, the score calculations are implemented correctly. LCIA results are deemed plausible. Within the review, a range of corrections were recommended to be introduced into the documentation of the dataset. The documentation is appropriate, and deviations do not impede a fair assessment of the dataset use. System boundaries and cut-off rules are appropriate, with capital goods excluded in the foreground modelling. For details on allocations please see the review report. Pre-calculated LCIA results were validated with the Look@LCI tool, no inconsistencies are detected.
