15. Functional / declared unit 1 liter 16. System boundary This EPD covers the following modules; A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport), A3 (Manufacturing) 17. Cut-off criteria All main flows of production materials, energy and packing have been included. The results have been provided as an aggregate of A1-A3 life cycle stages. The study excludes some minor raw materials which contribute less than 0.2 w% of the total raw materials mass. The total amount of excluded raw materials is less than 5% as per the requirements of EN 15804. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. The transportation module (A4) has been excluded since the impacts of the module are remarkably smaller (less than 20%) from the A1-A3 modules as per RTS PCR requirements. 18. Production process The product is manufactured from raw materials, that are transported to the Teknos plant from different locations. The materials are mixed after which the substance is treated in dissolver and pearl mix grinding. The binder, solvents, additives are added and product is filtered. Final process is canning.
