2.6 Raw materials/Auxiliary materials
The ceramic cladding system TONALITY consists of
ceramic cladding panels and a system-bound
subconstruction made of aluminium.
The ceramic cladding panels consist to 40-70% of clay
(weathering products of rocks containing feldspar), to
20-35% of chamotte (burnt and grounded clays), of
colour pigments 1-3% (metal oxides for integral
coloration of the raw material) and colour coatings on
the surfaces 0-2% (engobes or glazings).
Clays and chamottes come from regional deposits in
the proximity of the production plant (Westerwald).
Colour pigments and surface coatings are purchased
from renowned manufacturers of this kind of chemical
substances.
In addition, the shaping process requires approx. 20%
of water in the course of the production process.
2.7 Manufacturing
The manufacturing of the ceramic cladding panels is
divided into 8 processing steps.
During conditioning, the required raw materials are
dosed, homogenised and mixed under addition of
water to a plastic working mass.
The shaping process then gives the plastic ceramic
mass the desired shape by pulling it in strands.
In the course of the drying process, the water
contained in the blanks previously pulled in strands is
cast out on gentle and regulated conditions.
The dried tiles are engobed or glazed in the course of
the surface refining process.
As a result of their firing in a roller kiln, the cladding
elements are added their technical characteristics as
well as their distinctive appearance.
During cutting, the cladding elements are cut exactly
to the desired length.
In the course of quality control, they are examined
optically and measured on a random basis.
During the last production process of packaging, the
cladding elements are securely packed for transport
according to the customers requirements.
The production is monitored during each production
process and controlled by means of state-of-the-art
technology. The quality management of the products is
certified according to /ISO 9001/. For more information,
on this subject, please visit our homepage at
www.creaton.de
2.8 Environment and health during
manufacturing
Attempts are made in the course of the entire
production process to keep the impacts on the
environment as low as possible.
Besides the responsible use of natural resources,
energy and water, CREATON participates in the
Workplace Air Monitoring Programme (WAMP) of the
Etex parent company, meaning that dusts are
measured in the manufacturing facility as well as in the
immediate proximity of the employee. Stringent limit
values are forcing CREATON to undertake technical
measures and resp. to use specific personal protective
equipment (PPE).
The emissions of the manufacturing process are
measured internally every year and externally every
two years in accordance with the production approval.
3 Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic - Translation
The waste resulting from the production process is
either recycled internally or redirected to the production
cycle or properly and professionally disposed of
externally.
Noise pollution for neighbours as well as for the
employees of CREATON AG is monitored on a regular
basis and complies with the corresponding statutory
limit values. Employees are provided with appropriate
PPE in this context as well.
The production is externally certified in accordance
with the EU environmental standards (/ISO 14001/)
and the requirements on occupational safety and
health protection (/OHSAS 18001/).
2.9 Product processing/Assembly
The assembly is effected by means of a system-bound
subconstruction. The assembly instructions according
to the Approval of the building authorities must be
complied with.
Employees must wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (respiratory protection P2/FFP2, safety
glasses and hearing protection) while drilling and
cutting the ceramic material to protect themselves
against the effects of dusts containing quartz, possible
chippings and noise. The sufficient ventilation of the
workplace must be ensured, as well as the use of tools
with a low exposure to dust (e.g. wet saw).
Conventional suitable tools can be used for
assembling the system-bound aluminium
subconstruction. The requirements on health
protection and occupational safety must, however, be
observed in this context as well.
The ceramic cladding panels are secured in the
subconstruction by lugs on the reverse of the panels
and attached onto the hooks of the subconstruction. In
addition, it is possible to secure them against
unauthorized removal.
2.10 Packaging
The packaging of the products is effected on reusable
Europaletts, partially with intermediate layers of
cardboard or wood and using polyethylene shrinking
foils.
The reusable pallets can be taken back against
reimbursement. All other packaging materials are
taken back by the building materials trade and made
available for recycling.
2.11 Utilisation condition
Ceramic cladding panels do not alter after the
production process. The cladding elements are
weather resistant, frost resistant as well as acid and
lye-proof in accordance with the current relevant
standards.
2.12 Environment & health during use
The cladding elements do not emit any substances
hazardous to the environment and to health.
The natural ionising radiation is extremely low and
comparable to other building products.
2.13 Reference useful life
Ceramic cladding panels do not alter after the
completion of the production process. They are
extremely durable when used according to instructions.
The cladding elements are weather resistant according
to /DIN EN 10545/ as well as frost resistant and acid
and lye-proof according to /DIN EN 1304/.

3. LCA: Calculation criteria

3.1 Declared unit
The declaration refers to the life cycle of 1 m of
ceramic cladding panels including the system-bound
aluminium subconstruction. The average basis weight
of a ceramic cladding panel (without subconstruction)
is 40.8 kg/m, the subconstruction weighs 0.52 kg/m.
The gross density of the declared product is 2.1-2.3
kg/dm.
The conversion factor to 1 kg (incl. subconstruction) is
41.32.

3.2 System boundaries
Type of EPD: cradle to grave with options. The life
cycle assessment takes into account the raw materials
and the raw material transport and the actual product
manufacturing including packaging material (modules
A1-A3), the treatment of the packaging material in
waste incineration plants after the installation of the
product (module A5), as well as the transport after
dismantling (module C2) and the End of Life (dumping
of the cladding panel on an inert waste disposal site
(module C4) and recycling of the aluminium
subconstruction (module D). The credits for electricity
and thermal energy resulting from the disposal of the
packaging have also been taken into account (module
D). The utilisation stage (module B) is not considered
in this study.
3.3 Assessments and assumptions
The data pertaining to the specification of the
subconstruction was provided directly by the supplier.
According to the manufacturer, the aluminium
subconstruction consists to 35% of the AlMg3 H22/24
alloy and to 65% of the AlMg 4.5MnH24 alloy. In
addition, the customer confirms that 20% of the
aluminium is secondary aluminium and 80% is primary
aluminium. Since there is no precise data available for
the specific alloys of the secondary aluminium in the
database, the data set DE: Aluminium ingot (AlMg9)
sec. will be used in this context.
3.4 Cut-off criteria
The assessment includes all data from the data
collection of the company, i.e. all raw materials used
according to the mixing formula, the consumed thermal
energy as well as the power requirement and by-
2 products. Transportation costs have been observed for
all the considered inputs. All material and energy flows

with a share of less than 1 percent with regard to the
total mass of the product were thus altogether taken
well.
The manufacture of the machines, facilities and other
infrastructure needed for the manufacturing of the
examined product was neglected in the present life
cycle assessments.
3.5 Background data
The software system for holistic balancing /GaBi 6/
developed by PE INTERNATIONA AG was applied for
the modelling of the ceramic cladding tiles (incl.
subconstruction). The consistent data sets contained in
the GaBi data base are documented in the online GaBi
documentation. The basic data of the GaBi data base
was applied for energy, transport and auxiliary
material. The LCA was effected for the reference area
of Germany. This means that besides the production
processes under these boundary conditions, the LCA
also considered the relevant German preliminary
stages, such as the supply of electricity or energy
sources. The LCA uses the electrical power mix for
Germany with the reference year 2009.

4 Environmental Product Declaration CREATON AG Ceramic cladding panel TONALITY classic - Translation
Some emissions of the combustion process have been
recorded based on measurements of CREATON AG
as primary data. As the emission measurements were
not complete, the generic background dataset
Thermal energy from natural gas was used for the
combustion process, which takes into consideration all
the emissions of the combustion of natural gas. Since
however, some of the values that have been measured
by CREATON were higher as those existing in the
GaBi data base (CO and SO2), these emissions were
either considered too (carbon monoxide) or their
difference calculated and integrated in the model
(sulphur dioxide). The value from CREATON for
nitrogen oxides is approx. 90% of the value of the PE
data set. In this case, the value of the customer was
not taken into account.
3.6 Data quality
The data collected by CREATON for the production
year 2012 was used for the modelling of the product
development stage of the ceramic cladding panels
(incl. subconstruction). All other relevant background
data sets were taken from the database of the /GaBi 6/
software, which is not older than 2 years.
3.7 Observation period
The underlying data of the LCA is based on the data
collection of the year 2012. The observation period is
12 months.
3.8 Allocation
The scrap of ceramic cladding panels can be reused.
Scrap resulting after baking is given to a reprocessing
company free of charge. This scrap can be used for
most various purposes; such as for instance in road
construction, as clay dust for tennis courts, as
chamotte for the manufacturing of stoneware, etc. The
unfired mass is returned to the supplier of clay and is
mixed in to produce clay of lower quality (recycling).
CREATON receives no payment in return.
Since CREATON supplies both by-products free of
charge, no by-product allocation criteria has been
used. Both material flows leave the system value-free
and unencumbered.
The LCA also considers the recycling potential of
aluminium. First, the amount of secondary aluminium
necessary for the manufacturing is redirected resp.
saturated (closed loop) from the aluminium scrap
resulting from manufacturing and the EoL of the
subconstruction. Subsequently, the company credits
the remaining net scrap amount.
3.9 Comparability
In principle, the comparison or assessment of EPD
data is only possible, if all the data sets to be
compared were created in accordance with EN 15804
and if the context of the building resp. the product-
specific technical characteristics are taken into
account.

6. LCA: Interpretation
Illustr.: Relative contribution of various life cycle
processes to the environmental impacts and primary
The above illustration shows the contributions of
defined subsystems to the analysed environmental
categories and to the primary energy use. In this
context, the results of the modules A1-A3 are
subdivided into the following subsystems: raw
materials (extraction of clay, manufacturing of
chamotte), transport of the raw materials to the plant,
the manufacturing and disposal of the packaging
including transports, the production of the cladding
panel in the plant (including energy expenses) and the
manufacturing of the subconstruction including
transports to the plant. The subsystem End-of-Life
(EoL) cladding panel takes account of the cladding
panel transport (C2) and the landfill of the cladding
panel (C4). The end of life of the subconstruction
considers its transport (C2) and the credits resulting
from the recycling of the metal (D). Generally, the
consumption of thermal energy and electricity in the
course of the manufacturing of the ceramic cladding
panels have the most significant influence on all impact
categories, with exception of the abiotic resource
consumption of non-fossil resources (ADPe).
The manufacturing of the subconstruction contributes
to all impact categories with approx. 10% to 30%,
except for ADPe. This is attributable in particular to the
energy requirement of the electrolytic process during

the manufacturing of aluminium.
Compared to all raw materials used, colour pigments
contribute the most to the analysed impact categories.
Global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential
(AP), eutrophication potential (EP), formation potential
for tropospheric ozone (POCP) and abiotic
consumption of resources of fossil resources (ADPf)
are influenced by 10% to 25% by this intermediate
product. This is a consequence of the electricity
requirement during the manufacturing of Ferro Chrom
in its upstream chains.
As regards ADPe, a different environmental profile is
shown compared to the other impact categories. In this
case, the abiotic consumption of resources is caused
to approx. 80% by the production of the pigments and
to approx. 15% by the colour coatings of the surface.
This results from the electricity requirement of the
production of alumina (alumina constitutes a
formulation component of the glazing).
Other raw materials, such as clay and chamotte,
contribute to all impact categories with 2% to 8%, with
the exception of ADPe. This is mainly a consequence
of the energy requirement of both manufacturing
processes.
Transports and expenses for packaging are of minor
relevance compared to other defined subsystems.
