Product description
DIRTT's premium 3D laminate delivers exceptional durability and cleanability for demanding environments. This non-porous finish resists scratches, stains, and moisture while offering an extensive palette of wood grains, super mattes, high gloss, patterns, and metallic finishes. Ideal for healthcare, education, and high-traffic commercial spaces, it can be expertly applied to DIRTT casework, wall panels, and doors.
Interpretation
The product stage (A1-A3) shows the highest environmental impact, primarily due to raw material manufacturing and manufacturing energy use. For products with high manufacturing energy impacts, switching to renewable energy sources is recommended. Since raw materials significantly impact the environmental footprint, DIRTT should consider using alternative materials with lower environmental impacts. They should also seek suppliers who use sustainable manufacturing techniques and renewable energy. These changes would improve the overall sustainability of DIRTT's products.
LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
