Should I use the values from Module D of th EPD for calculating EPD of a product produced using recycled materials?

Question

Hi,
Should I use the values from Module D of the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for calculating the environmental impact of a product produced using recycled materials?

Answer 1

Hi, this could work but I doubt that you will be able to use module D resutls from one EPD and directly "plug these" into another EPD and it fits directly. You probably need access to the model and see how the recycling was implemented, with its benefits.

Thank you, I have another question: if I use a recycled product from a different process, should I account for it as a negative to show the avoidance of emissions?
