The following drying of the wood shavings is carried out with the help of a drying cylinder. When they have reached their working moisture, they are sticked together. In a hollow the different wood chips sortings are piled up in boards. Due to the compression under the influence of heat and pressure the primary boards are produced. The boards are processed application-specifically with cutter and sawing machine. The primary processing of the plates is finished with a smoothing. The boards can be further processed depending on their purpose. They are stacked and sealed with PE foil. Production residues (e.g. from smoothing and cutting) are reentered into the production production (e.g. for heat production)Wood-based material for non-bearing indoor use in dry environments - 610 - 750 kg/m3LCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: none
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.All data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.None"Over 99% of mass and energy inputs and outputs to the overall process are included.
Cut-off rules for each unit process: Chemical inputs to wafer processing with unremarkable environmental relevance falling below 0.1% of input chemical flow by mass (excluding water inputs) are excluded. Chemical inputs lacking LCI data for their high-purity semiconductor grade form are represented using industrial grade purity. All process emissions with high environmental relevance are included in the inventory, no matter how low the mass contribution.
When considering only chemical inputs to the wafer fabrication (front-end) process (excluding the mass of water and silicon), coverage of at least 95 % of mass of the input flows are achieved. All process emissions with high global warming impact are included in the inventory, even when mass emissions fall below 0.1% because, at this point in time, not all high-GWP emissions are completely abated in semiconductor production worldwide.

It is mainly based on direct data collection of industry. The cradle-to-gate data set contains the CO2 absorption in the forest. For a complete life cycle assessment a corresponding end-of-life scenario (burning, rotting, landfill) has to be included imperatively. In the case of incineration the data set "End of life chipboard (average)" has to be used.No statementCML2001 - Apr. 2013, Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity Pot.

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.
