Environmental Performance
The environmental impact of three selected
grammages representing a low, medium and high
grammage within the product range are presented
in the table below.
The declared unit is one tonne (1000 kg) of
the product delivered at the gate of an average
converter/customer in Europe. As additional
information, the environmental impact is stated
also per 1000 m 2 .
The carbon footprint (greenhouse gas emissions
over the life cycle) is presented in the following
diagram as global warming potential 100 years
(GWP100) in kg CO 2
equivalents per tonne product.
