Interpretation

Impacts of FieldTurf's artificial turf products are driven primarily by production in the A1 module. Inputs in A1 dominate impacts across all LCIA categories with impact contributions ranging from at least 71% up to 94%. Impacts of A1 inputs significantly exceed the impacts of inputs from A2 and A3, which have insignificant to moderate contribution to impacts across impact categories. A2 and A3 inputs contribute from 3% - 25% and 2% - 8%, respectively. A1 inputs contribute over twice as much (2x) to impacts across all impact categories than A2 inputs and A3 inputs. Therefore, we conclude that A1 inputs are the most significant as they contribute far more to LCIA results across all categories than other stages. The bullets below provide additional detail as to which inputs are contributing the most to impacts associated with A1 inputs.

Relative Contributions to A1 Impacts:

Fiber

Min. Contribution: 48%, Max Contribution: 73%

Primary Backing

Min. Contribution: 4%, Max Contribution: 8%

Secondary Backing

Min Contribution: 13%, Max Contribution: 35%

Shockpads

Min Contribution: 7%, Max Contribution: 11%
