Miralis Mineral Foam Insulation EPD

Product catalog summary
General Information
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Miralis Mineral Foam is registered under the International EPD® System, valid from June 23, 2025, to June 22, 2030. It adheres to ISO 14025:2006 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 standards.
Company Information
Miralis GmbH, based in Dietach, Austria, owns the EPD. The company focuses on sustainable and recyclable mineral insulation foams, with production in Dietach, Austria.
Product Information
Miralis Mineral Foam (GMS65) is a low-density, cement-based mineral foam used for insulation. It is fire-resistant, recyclable, and produced via a physical foaming process, with a dry density of 60 kg/m3.
LCA Information
The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) provides environmental data for B2B purposes. The functional unit is 1 m3 of dry mineral foam with a thermal resistance RD of 28.6 (m2K)/W. The reference service life is 50 years, using openLCA v2.4.1 software and ecoinvent v3.10 database.
System Boundaries and Allocation
The system boundaries are cradle to gate with options, including modules C1–C4 and module D. The EPD employs the cut-off principle for allocation, integrating recycling processes into production.
Environmental Performance Indicators
Key indicators include Global Warming Potential (GWP), Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), and Acidification Potential (AP). For instance, the GWP-fossil for modules A1-A3 is 63.2 kg CO2 eq.
Resource Use Indicators
Resource use indicators such as Primary Energy Resources (PERE) are detailed, with PERE for modules A1-A3 being 121 MJ.
Energy and Material Use Indicators
Indicators include PERE, PERM, PERT, PENRE, PENRM, PENRT, SM, RSF, NRSF, and FW, detailing the use of renewable and non-renewable energy and materials.
Waste Indicators
Metrics include hazardous, non-hazardous, and radioactive waste disposal per functional unit.
Output Flow Indicators
These measure material and energy outputs, including components for re-use, materials for recycling, energy recovery, and exported energy.
Impact Assessment
The impact results are relative and do not specify endpoints, thresholds, safety margins, or risks.
References
References include general program instructions from the International EPD® System and studies on mineral foam and recycling technologies.

Miralis Mineral Foam Insulation EPD-4

LCA information Study goal: The intended goal of this LCA is to create an EPD of Miralis Mineral Foam with a density of 60 kg/m3, produced in 2024 as the main Miralis product. Mineral foam is used as insulation material in the construction sector. The intended application of the EPD is to provide environmental product information to the target group B2B. The EPD should be conducted according to EN 15804 and ISO 14025. Type of EPD: specific EPD Functional unit: The functional unit is 1 m3 of dry mineral foam (dry density: 60 kg/m3). The mineral foam has a thermal resistance RD of 28,6 (m2K)/W...

to the functional unit. In modules A3 and A5, 100 % of the charges and credits for the packaging and transportation material disposal are allocated to the functional unit. The loads from recycling in C4 are allocated 100 % to the functional unit. Infrastructure/capital goods: Infrastructure/capital goods are excluded from consideration in the LCA model. Assumptions and waste scenarios: For A1–A5: In A5, 100 % of the foam production waste generated from start-up and cleaning of the foaming system is fed back into the closed-loop production process as filter cake. Plastic and paper packaging waste...

—EPD® THE INTERNATIONAL EPD® SYSTEM Modules declared, geographical scope, share of specific data (in GWP-GHG results) and data variation (in GWP-GHG results): The transport material losses in A2 and A4, as well as the production losses in A3, are assumed to be below the 5 % cut-off. The transport losses in A1 are not declared because of a lack of data. Use stages B2-B7 are not declared due to inaccessible variance in use phases (for example differences in different construction buildings). Using the results of modules A1-A5 without considering the results of module C is not recommended. The following...
