The Declared Unit (DU) of this LCA is 1 metric ton and the findings below are expressed as kgCO₂e/DU.

Impact Category Unit A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 B1-B7 C1 C2 C3 C4 D
GWP-GHG kgCO₂e 4.58E+03 0.00E+00 2.20E+02 8.88E+01 ND ND 1.32E+01 2.92E+00 3.98E+00 1.44E+01 -1.89E+03

This indicator includes all greenhouse gases, excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions, as well as biogenic carbon stored in the product, as defined by IPCC AR6 (2021). The indicator aligns closely with the Global Warming Potential (GWP) outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, incorporating updated characterization factors and environmental impact indicators. Reading example: 1.57E-03 = 1.57*10⁻³ = 0.00157.
