ABOUT THIS EPD

What is an EPD?Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are like nutrition labels – they provide a transparent, multi-faceted overview of the environmental performance of a product during its life cycle.

Our intention in providing these EPDs is to present the potential environmental impacts for a range of preparation, broad-wall and ceiling paints. The three paint ranges are presented in three separate EPDs such that they can be combined to calculate the impacts of a full paint system.

EPDs within the same product category from different programs may not be comparable. EPDs of construction products may not be comparable if they do not comply with EN 15804.

SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION IN AUSTRALIA

Dulux strives to provide products that are integral to the design and environmental performance of major construction projects in Australia. Colour selection and detail can enhance a building. The ability to provide that colour in a high quality and durable coating system is critical to the design intent and success of the built environment created. Dulux provides paint on many of Australia’s major and iconic assets in markets such as Health, Education, Infrastructure and Commercial and Residential. Below are some examples recent projects painted with Dulux paints.

Product development Our research and development programs enable us to develop coatings that deliver a Better Place by improving the aesthetics, durability, functionality and lifespan of our consumer’s assets. We aim to design products that minimise environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle from raw material sourcing, through production, use and post-consumer disposal.

Dulux has a strong history of developing innovative solutions that contribute to more sustainable outcomes throughout the paint life cycle. We led the market in developing the first carbon neutral paint, certified under the Australian Government’s former Greenhouse Friendly program and have worked pro-actively to provide high-performance, low VOC water-based products to the market.

Management of manufacturing operationsDulux manages the sustainability performance of our operations through an integrated safety and sustainability management system. The system is implemented across all

Dulux businesses and comprises safety and sustainability procedures, tools, data management systems and an audit program to verify environmental performance standards. Over the past five years, our production facility has achieved some significant improvements in environmental performance including implementation of site recycling programs that have delivered a 22% reduction in waste to landfill.

Post-consumer waste management programDulux is one of the founding members of the Paintback® product stewardship scheme, which aims to reduce post-consumer paint and packaging waste to landfill and to support responsible management of waste paint and packaging. Paintback® is establishing sites across Australia to collect, transport and recycle waste paint and packaging from domestic and trade customers. The scheme commenced in May 2016, with 14 collection sites and a vision to grow service coverage to 85% of the Australian population by 2021.

PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP

Dulux produces paint products primarily at our Rocklea facility in Queensland. We take raw materials such as polymers, pigments and extenders and manufacture them into packaged paint products. These are then distributed throughout Australia via an integrated warehouse and stores system. Once purchased, product is applied and then empty paint packaging can be disposed to landfill or recycled. An illustration of the Dulux paint life cycle is shown opposite.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Product Category Rules (PCR)The product category rules ‘PCR 2012:01 Construction Products and Construction Services’ (IEPDS 2016) has been used as the core set of rules, in accordance with European standard EN 15804. Where this was not specific enough to paint, ‘PCR 2014:05 Paints, Varnishes and Related Products’ has been applied to fill any gaps (IEPDS 2014).

Declared unitThis EPD is valid for a declared unit of 1m2 of coated surface using the number of coats recommended by AS/NZS 2311:2009 (as shown in Table 1 on page 6).

ScopeThis EPD is of the ‘cradle-to-gate’ type with options. It includes EN 15804 modules A1–A5, C2, C4 and D (see Table 2). These modules are for paint production (A1–A3), transport to customer (A4), paint application (A5), end-of-life transport (C2), disposal (C4) and recycling potential for future product systems (D).

Other life cycle stages (modules B1–B7 and C1, C3) are dependent on particular scenarios and best modelled at the building level.

Using this EPDDulux has produced three EPDs: preparation paints (primers, sealers and undercoats), broad-wall paints and ceiling paints. All EPDs declare the impacts of 1m2 of painted surface, assuming the recommended number of coats and typical coverage rates.

To calculate the impacts of a paint system, locate the results tables for both your prep coat and top coat and then add together the numbers (i.e. preparation + topcoat) for each module separately (A1–A3, A4, A5, etc.).

If you would prefer to access the data within a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software tool, please contact [email protected]

X = included; MND = module not declared (such a declaration shall not be regarded as an indicator result of zero)

Production (Module A1–A3)The production stage includes extraction and processing of raw materials, transport to Dulux, paint manufacture and packaging. All paints in this EPD assume production by Dulux at our primary production facility in Rocklea, Queensland. Paint manufacture involves mixing of carefully selected and measured ingredients to ensure that the paint meets desired properties.

The results in this EPD are reported for the largest packaging size available, as this is the size class intended for commercial painters. The packaging material (tinplated steel or polypropylene) and size (in litres) is noted above each results table later in this EPD. If the potential environmental impacts of alternative packaging sizes fall within ±10% for modules A1–A3, this is also noted above the table. In these cases, the results for the declared packaging size also apply to these alternative packaging sizes for modules A1–A3.

SYSTEM BOUNDARIES


SYSTEM BOUNDARIES CONTINUED

Distribution to Customer (Module A4)Packaged paint is distributed to a typical Australian customer via distribution hubs and then either (1) couriered to customer, or (2) collected by the customer from a store, for example a Dulux Trade Centre or other paint stockist. Product couriered to customer assumes delivery by a diesel van or light truck. Product collected in-store assumes that the customer travels 18km (round-trip) in a diesel van.

Where a given paint must be tinted before use, the typical volume of tinter is included within Module A4, as is electricity for mixing the tinter, plus disposal of tinter packaging.

Application (Module A5)Paint is applied to the surface (e.g. a wall or ceiling). Paint waste rates can vary significantly by the type of painter and project (e.g. commercial vs. DIY). The waste rates in this EPD assume a commercial painting scenario and are based on values measured by one of Dulux’s professional painters onto plasterboard in a controlled test environment. Under these conditions, a total of 1.5% of the paint was lost during application (assuming a 15L pail), of which 1% was left in the pail and is assumed to be landfilled and 0.5% was left on the roller and is assumed to go to waste water treatment following washing. While not included in this EPD, the use of an EnviroWash water treatment unit would reduce the amount of paint waste discharged to waste water.

Dulux is a member of Paintback® and is investigating all available options for increasing paint recycling. Currently the recycling rate for leftover paint is relatively low at a national level and it is all assumed to be landfilled within this study as a conservative approach.

Based on Australian average recycling rates for steel cans and polypropylene packaging, 41% of all tinplated steel pails and 22.5% of all polypropylene pails are assumed to be recycled respectively, with the remainder landfilled (APC 2015). No recycling data specific to paint packaging in Australia was available at the time of publication.

End of Life (Module C)The end-of-life module covers disposal of remnant paint on a surface when that surface reaches the end of its useful life, e.g. during building renovation or demolition. In Australia, such waste materials are typically disposed of in a landfill. Module C2 includes transport of the waste paint to landfill and Module C4 is disposal in landfill.

Recovery and Recycling Potential (Module D) Module D includes the potential loads and benefits from recycling paint pails at end-of-life.


KEY ASSUMPTIONS FOR THE LCA

Data for core processes: Primary (specific) data were used for all manufacturing operations at Dulux’s Rocklea plant. Data are an average for the year from October 2014 to September 2015.

Data for upstream and ownstream processes: Secondary (generic) data from the GaBi Life Cycle Inventory Database 2016 (thinkstep 2016) and the European Life Cycle Database (ELCD 2016) were used for all energy inputs, raw materials and transport processes. Most datasets have a reference year between 2012 and 2015 and all fall within the 10 year limit for generic data under EN 15804.

Geographical representativeness: Data for energy and transport correctly reflect Australian conditions. Most upstream (supply chain) data used were from the USA and Europe due to a lack of consistent life cycle inventory data for Australia at the time this study was conducted. The titanium dioxide data from the TDMA reflects global average production (ELCD 2016) and is considered best available data to produce a paint EPD.

VOC emissions in module A5: EN 15804 Annex C does not contain a characterisation factor for generic non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) for use during paint application and drying. Given this, a factor 0.15 kg C2H4-equivalent/kg NMVOC has been applied for the indicator photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). This factor is provided by Leiden University’s Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML 2013) and was chosen because it is fully consistent with the POCP method applied in EN 15804.

Electricity: Electricity for production is based on the average Queensland electricity mix. Electricity for warehousing, tinting/mixing in-store and end-of-life assume the average Australian electricity mix as these downstream scenarios are designed to reflect a typical customer.

Cut off criteria: Environmental impacts relating to personnel, infrastructure, and production equipment not directly consumed in the process are excluded from the system boundary as per the PCR (IEPDS 2016, section 6.5.4). All other reported data were incorporated and modelled using the best available life cycle inventory data.

Allocation: Where subdivision of processes was not possible, the allocation rules listed in PCR chapter 6.7 have been applied. Allocation was primarily done by volume or mass, e.g. manufacturing overheads were attributed to the various paints based on their volume.


ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS

An introduction to each environmental indicator is provided below. The best-known effect of each indicator is listed to the right of its name.

Note: All indicators represent the potential to cause environmental impacts; they do not predict if specific environmental thresholds, safety margins or risks will be exceeded. The actual impacts on the environment typically depend upon local, regional and/or global conditions.

Global Warming Potential (GWP) > Climate ChangeA measure of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane. These emissions increase absorption of radiation emitted by the earth, intensifying the natural greenhouse effect.

Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) > Ozone HoleA measure of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane. These emissions increase absorption of radiation emitted by the earth, intensifying the natural greenhouse effect.

Acidification Potential (AP) > Acid RainA measure of emissions that cause acidifying effects to the environment. Acidification potential is a measure of a molecule’s capacity to increase the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in the presence of water, thus decreasing the pH value. Potential effects include fish mortality, forest decline and the deterioration of building materials.

Eutrophication Potential (EP) > Algal BloomsA measure of nutrient enrichment that may cause an undesirable shift in species composition and elevated biomass production in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It includes potential impacts of excessively high levels of macronutrients, the most important of which are nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (POCP) > SmogA measure of emissions of precursors that contribute to ground level smog formation (mainly ozone O3), produced by the reaction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon monoxide in the presence of nitrogen oxides under the influence of UV light. Ground level ozone may be harmful to human and ecosystem health and may also damage crops.

Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADP) > Resource ConsumptionThe consumption of non-renewable resources leads to a decrease in the future availability of the functions supplied by these resources. Depletion of mineral resource elements (ADPE) and non-renewable fossil energy resources (ADPF) are reported separately.


The chart below presents the life cycle of the highest selling product within this EPD, Dulux Professional® Total Prep, to give an indication of the life cycle stages that contribute most to the environmental impacts of Dulux paint.

The results are normalised to 100% for each environmental indicator. Only the life cycle modules assessed in this EPD are shown. Module D has been excluded as it represents potential benefits and loads for future product systems and is therefore outside the system boundary for Dulux paints.

As can be seen, the impacts of producing the paint are most significant to total life cycle performance, while other life cyclestages have relatively small contributions, except for POCP (summer smog) where paint application is most important.

Care should be taken when comparing EPDs. Especially in the case of paint EPDs, given the importance of secondary data (e.g. titanium dioxide), comparisons should not be made if the EPDs use different data sources.

Overall, the most important factors to consider when comparing two paint EPDs are that they:

1. Cover paints with the same: a. Functionality, i.e. they meet the same minimum performance requirements; b. Application environment (e.g. interior paints applied on plasterboard); c. Colour and gloss level; and d. Number of coats applied per m2.

2. Have the same functional unit. This EPD uses m2 at the number of coats required under AS/NZS 2311:2009.3. Follow the same product category rules. This EPD follows PCR 2012:01 and EN 15804.4. For raw materials (particularly titanium dioxide and monomers), they use either: a. Primary data directly from suppliers; or b. The same secondary data source (i.e. same database or literature source).

Specifically, the dataset for titanium dioxide used in this EPD was compiled by the Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association (TDMA) and is published in the European Life Cycle Database (ELCD 2016). Datasets for monomers, extenders and pigments were sourced from the GaBi Life Cycle Inventory Database 2016 (thinkstep 2016).
