3 Product Product description: Borreaard produces a wide rane of specialty cellulose products based on spruce softwood. This includes rades tailor made for production of cellulose ethers, cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, microcrystalline cellulose and specialized viscose applications. Product specification Materials* % Cellulose % Water 70 7 % *Here the product content is iven on wet basis as sold to customer. However, the data and results in this EPD are iven per ton dry matter (DM). LCA: Calculation rules Declared unit: The declared unit is 1000 DM of cellulose, includin 1000 km of transport to customer. Transportation to customer (A4) has been corrected to account for the burden of transportin water. Technical data: Dry matter (DM) content 93% Market: Europe Reference service life: Not relevant System boundary: The system boundaries include extraction, transportion and processin of natural resources, manufacturin of the product and transportation of the product 1000 km by typical transportation modes. The system boundaries are described in more detail in Modahl and Soldal (2016). Fiure 1: Technical flow chart illustratin life cycle staes at Borreaard included in the analysis. Data quality: Data on consumption of natural resources, enery carriers and chemicals, and production amount are specific for Borreaard. Data collected for For upstream processes some data are specific (five raw materials/chemicals). For the remainin, eneric data from Ecoinvent 3.0 or, when equal products could not be found, proxy data for similar products have been used (Weidema et al. 2013). See Chapter 2.4 in Modahl and Soldal (2016) for details. Cut-off criteria: All major raw materials and all the essential enery are included. See Chapter in Modahl and Soldal (2016) for details. Allocation: The allocation is made in accordance with the provisions of ISO Allocation has as far as possible, been avoided by modellin the processes at Borreaard on a detailed level. When allocation has been necessary, allocation based on mass (DM) has been used. In processes with hot water as an outflow and where the hot water is exploited in other processes, the enery content has been calculated into mass throuh use of the heat value for bioloical dry matter. See Chapter 2.5 in Modahl and Soldal (2016) for details. Deviations from PCR: We have not used the additional models EUTREND (for EP) and LOTUS-EUROS (for POCP). This EPD deviates from the PCR reardin inclusion of enery used in office space. All enery consumption has been reported collected, and the enery used in office spaces are assumed to be neliible compared to the enery used in production processes. 3/7 xx

4 LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information The followin information describe the scenarios in the different modules of the EPD. In line with the PCR, 1000 km of transport to customer is included. The distribution amon the transportion types are reported by Borreaard, and is averae for the product. Transport from production place to assembly/user (A4) Type Type of vehicle Distance km Fuel/Enery Value Capacity utilisation (incl. return) % consumption (l/t) Truck Lorry metric ton, l/tkm 12,40 * EURO4 Railway Freiht train E-3 l/tkm 0,10 * 0.04 kwh/tkm 2,00 Boat * Transoseanic ship E-3 l/tkm 1,38 * For the transport processes, averae data from Ecoinvent is used, and averae capasity load is included in the process. LCA: Results The life cycle staes A1-A3 are the most influential. Within these staes, production and transport of timber, wood chips and chemicals are most important for all environmental impact cateories investiated, except EP where other internal processes are most influential. Next, combustion of oil at the plant is important for GWP, POCP and ODP. For AD other internal processes are influential, while for EP the production and transport of raw materials is the second most important product stae. Futher information on the results can be found in Modahl and Soldal (2016).
