The validity of the dataset has been expanded to 2016, since it is currently reworked, publication foreseen in 2016.0The life cycle analysis of a carpet includes the life cycle phases cradle to gate, i.e. manufacturing of raw and auxiliary materials as well as the real carpet production including packaging. The system boundary is the product (ready for shipment) at the factory gate. Transports from the factory to the user are not taken into account and have to be incorporated in a system approach. Details about End-of-Life: A recycling of carpets is technically feasible. Currently the common disposal of used carpets is thermal recycling in waste incineration plants (see usage hints).Fabric floor covering for interior decor.6.2.5 hilfestellung_auswahl_der_datensaetze.pdf6.2.5 zuordnung_flaechengewichte.pdfLCI resultAttributionalNoneAll data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.NoneGaBi databases95.0The dataset describes the manufacturing ("cradle to gate") of a fabric floor covering with the usage class (GK) 33 and the luxury class (LC) 2-3. It was created in cooperation with the TFI (Deutsche Forschungsinstitut für Bodensysteme e. V.). the usage class describes the field of application of a fabric floor covering in the private and commercial sector. The luxury class describes the comfort of a fabric floor covering. The higher the luxury class, the more comfortable and soft is the carpet. The environmental indicators of carpets vary depending on the usage and luxury class, thus the functionality has to be taken into account in the framework of a building assessment. The section "further documentation of the dataset" gives support for the right choice. Currently the common disposal of used carpets is thermal recycling in waste incineration plants. Used carpets have an average calorific value of 20,5 MJ/kg. For thermal recycling the dataset "End of life - used carpet, incineration in MWI, including credits" has to be used.No statementThe LCI method applied is in compliance with ISO 14040 and 14044. The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.GUTThe data set represents a cradle to gate inventory. It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. The data set does not necessarily fit for any possible specific supply situation - especially if significantly different technology routes exist - but is representative for a common supply chain situation.2020-01-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.12020-01-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGUTtrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
