Product catalog summary
Product Description: The Ecoflex task chair by Senator is designed with a focus on simplicity and architectural quality, emphasizing ecology, economy, and flexibility. It is intended to last for 10 years.
Scope of Assessment: The life cycle assessment (LCA) covers the product from raw material extraction to the production of the final office furniture unit, excluding the 'in use' phase and end-of-life recycling.
Data Used: Primary data was prioritized, with secondary data sourced from the Ecolnvent database, using European data only.
Environmental Impact: The chair has a global warming potential of 78.17 kg CO2 equivalents, with a total energy consumption of 1567.88 MJ. It is 99% recyclable by weight.
Materials Declaration: The chair is composed of various materials, including Nylon (30% glass) at 68.18% and Steel at 10.56% of the total weight.
Sustainability Approach: Senator emphasizes sustainability over recyclability, focusing on a holistic approach to design, manufacture, supply, and reclamation. The company aims to minimize environmental impacts through a cyclical process of resource reclamation and remanufacturing.
System Boundaries: The LCA includes upstream (raw material extraction and treatment), core (transport and assembly), and downstream (product transport) modules. End-of-life recycling is not included in this analysis.
Certifications: Senator holds several certifications, including ISO 9001 for quality assurance, ISO 14001 for environmental management, FSC for chain of custody, and ISO 50001 for energy management.
Environmental Management: Senator applies the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, with a focus on reducing usage as the primary goal.
Assumptions: The analysis assumes manufacturing occurs in the same location as raw material processing, and transportation is via Euro 5 lorries. The IMPACT 2002+ method was used for LCA data modeling.
