Declaration code: M-EPD-FEV-GB-002005Publication date: 18.12.2017Product group: flat glass6.4Interpretation, LCA presentation and critical reviewEvaluationSome of the environmental effects differ considerably. The differences arise on the one hand from changed background data in the GaBi ts software and through the use of more suitable data sets. On the other hand, the reduced energy consumption in the manufacture of flat glass leads to differences between the assessments from 2012 and 2018. With regard to toughened safety glass and laminated safety glass, the increased quantity of flat glass also plays a role.The environmental effects of FG, TSG, LSG arise in the range of production, mainly due to the discharging emissions as well as from the use of soda or its precursors in flat glass.In scenario C4, only marginal expenditures for the physical pretreatment and the landfill operation are to be expected.
