3 Product information 9. Product description This EP represents ELTABEAM produced in Peikko Group facilities in Lahti (Finland) and Kralova nad Vahom (Slovak Republic). The studied product represents the simple average of these plants. ELTABEAM is a structural element which can be combined with all general concrete slabs. The market area is Nordic countries and Europe. 10. Technical specifications ELTABEAM is a slim-floor composite beam which is integrated into the floor. The beam is completely filled with concrete on-site. The infill concrete and ELTABEAM form a composite structure after the concrete has hardened. ELTABEAM acts as a steel beam before the infill concrete has reached the required strength. ELTABEAMs are ordered by clients as custom projects. This EP is valid for an average ELTABEAM project order with the an average material composition (production based). As the materials in ELTABEAM are scaled based on the product's geometry, there is only a low variance in the product's mass composition. Therefore the results in this EP represent all ELTABEAM projects. 11. Product standards ELTABEAMs are CE marked through harmonized standard EN Physical properties etailed techincal information can be found from manufacturer's webpages at hu/product/p=eltabeam+product+information 13.

4 15. Functional / declared unit 1 of eltabeam 16. System boundary This EP covers the following modules; A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport) and A3 (Manufacturing), as well as (econstruction), (Transport at end-of-life), (Waste processing) and (isposal). In addition, module - benefits and loads beyond the system boundary - have been included. 17. Cut-off criteria A1 raw material supply, A2 transportation, A3 manufacturing. All used materials, energy, packing and transportation until the end-of-waste state have been included. Modules -A5 and B have not been studied in this LCA (PCR provisions are met). All of module C has been included as conservative assumptions; demolition, demolition waste transportation where distance estimated to be 250 km, which includes cutting the bottom steel sheet from the beam, removing the concrete (incl. rebar) and crushing the concrete to remove the rebar, and landfilling the steel which cannot be recovered (conservative assumption of 10%). Module considers the benefits of recycling the virgin steel (81%) from the product which could be recovered (90%). 18. Production process The steel materials are blasted to wanted surface conditions using cast iron steel shots and cut to required shapes. Hydraulic oils, cutting emulsions and other lubrication oils are used during the process to reduce the wear of machines and to ensure stable cutting conditions. The final products are welded from the different steel components. The welding process consumes welding fillers as well as gases used as shielding. The ready products are then painted and packaged for shipping. The manufacturing process requires electricity and fuels for the different equipment as well as heating, unless district heating is used. The steel waste produced at the plant is directed into recycling. The loss of material is considered.

Environmental impacts The global warming potential (GWP) of the manufacturing process (A1-A3) is dominated by the impacts of the steel raw materials. Of the studied modules, the product stage (A1-A3) has the largest impact on the results.

End-of-life process description (7.3.4) Processes Unit (epressed per functional unit or per Amount / declared ata quality unit of components products or materials and by type of material) Collection process specified by type Recovery system specified by type collected separately 1 collected with mied construction waste - for re-use for recycling 0.90* - for energy recovery isposal specified by type product or material for final deposition Assumptions for scenario development, e.g. transportation units as appropriate 0.10* Transportation distance estimation based on average recycling facility locations; 250 km *eltabeam is a rather new product due to which no known demolition cases eist at this point. The following realistic scenario based on eisting waste handling technologies has been provided by the manufacturer for the end-of-life; eltabeam is collected from the demolition site and the bottom steel sheet is cut off. The concrete beam (incl. rebar) is removed from inside the steel sheets. The concrete is crushed in order to remove the rebar inside. Conservative estimation is that 90% of the steel is recovered while 10% is landfilled (estimation based on Stålbyggnadsinstitutet (n.d.)).
