LIMITATIONS: 1) Environmental declarations from different programs (ISO 14025) may not be comparable; 2) Comparison of the environmental performance using EPD information shall be based on the prodcut's use and impacts at the building level, and therefore EPDs may not be used for comparability purposes when not considering the building use phase as instructed under this PCR; 3) Full conformance with the PCR allows EPD comparability when all stages of a life cycle have been considered, when they comply with all referenced standards, use the same sub-category PCR, and use equivalent scenarios with respect to constrution work. However, variations and deviations are possible. example of variations: Different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to differences results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared.
This document is an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 21930. EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life cycles.
At Kohler Co., we believe in protecting the environment and enhancing the quality of life for current and future generations. When developing new products, we consider the environmental impact at each stage of a product’s existence - from the activities of our suppliers through the end of the product’s useful life. Designing for a better world means every choice counts.

KOHLER OPERATIONS
Manufacturing Process Description
The body of vitreous ceramic sanitary ware is manufactured by casting slip - a mixture of water, clay, feldspar and silica - into a reusable mold. The cast body is partially dried, sprayed with an aqueous glaze mixture, and fired in a kiln to vitrify the product. An inspection process follows that ensures a singular high level of product quality. Finally, the ware is fitted with non-vitreous components, packaged and shipped.
Manufacturing Locations
Not all products are produced in all plants. EPDs for specific models only include data from plants in which they are produced.

Vitreous Santiary Ceramic Ware
Health, Safety and Environmental Aspects during Production
Kohler Co. has established program management guidelines for safety, accident prevention and environmental performance. These systems enable Kohler Co. operations to achieve world-class performance: Kohler Safety Management System (KSMS) and Kohler Environmental Management System (KEMS). The management systems are based on best management practices, and the application of these programs consistently delivers significant results.
Packaging
Vitreous ware is packaged primarily with double-wall corrugated containerboard. When utilized, white exterior wrapping is manufactured with an Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF)/Totally Chlorine Free (TCF) bleaching process. Other packaging materials can include expanded polystyrene (EPS), low density polyethylene bags (LDPE) and honeycomb paperboard blocking. Corrugated containerboard and honeycomb blocking are 100% recyclable, and collection is available in most municipalities. Other materials are typically recyclable; however, this is dependent on local availability of collection programs.
CONSUMER USE
Conditions of Use
The majority of product use phase environmental impacts for vitreous ceramic sanitary ware are related to water throughput. It is important to note that water use impacts are assigned to the device that controls water flow rate. For example, a lavatory sink EPD will not include these impacts, as water consumption is controlled by the faucet that is paired with it. Similarly, a toilet bowl EPD will not include water use impacts, as the tank or flushometer it is paired with provides this function. However, a one-piece toilet with integrated tank and bowl will include water use impacts within its EPD.
Reference Service Life
Residential lavatory sinks are assumed to remain in service for 50 years.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Residential lavatory sinks are assumed to require 52 cleanings per year with 10 ml of 1% sodium lauryl sulfate. These impacts are included within the product use stage of the LCA.
END OF LIFE
Recycle or Reuse
Collection and processing for vitreous product beneficial reuse and end-of-life are possible, but not widely available at present time
Disposal
Upon PCR default assumsptions, The KOHLER® LCA model assumes 100% of the vitreous portion of the product, accessories and packaging materials are landfilled.

Estimates and Assumptions
The LCI/ LCA assumptions are mentioned below:
Product transport from DC to final customer and from customer to diposal site are modeled based on PCR specifications
Product and packaging disposal scenarios are adopted from the PCR specifications
Building estimated service life (ESL) is assumed to be 75 years
Biogenic carbon content is estimated for three types of packaging materials: plywood, corrugate box and kraft paper
Carbon calcination emission factors are sourced from FIRE database for caolin calcination
1 packaged product piece
m3/secFlow rate
Cut-off Criteria
This LCA is in compliance with the cutoff criteria specified in the PCR, as no known processes were excluded from this assessment outside of the specific items listed within the “System Boundary” section below.
Allocation
Impacts are allocated to individual products with a unit process approach. Typically, product mass is used to build the impact allocation factors. Product-specific quality data is also employed to match impacts to products.
Data Sources
Primary manufacturing data was collected directly from process experts for the eleven Kohler vitreous plants within North America, Thailand and China, for calender year of 2016. Secondary data primarily references the DATASMART and eocinvent 3 LCI databases. Both databases are widely distributed and are referenced within the LCA community. All ecoinvent datasets have been critically reviewed.
Data Quality
Wherever secondary data is used, the study adopts critically reviewed data for consistency, precision and reproducibility to limit uncertainty. The data sources used are complete and representative of North America, Thailand and China in terms of the geographic and technological coverage and are a recent vintage (i.e., less than ten years old). Any deviations from these initial data quality requirements for secondary data are documented in the critically reviewed LCA report. When a product is produced at more than one plant, impacts are weighted by unit volume to produce a single result.

Interpretation
Due to the high degree of value add within the vitreous product manufacturing process, the Kohler Operations life cycle stage drives most of the environmental impact categories for vitreous ceramic sanitary ware. Exceptions are products that control water flow rate, such as toilet tanks and one-piece toilets, which will see these consumer use phase impacts dominate the product life cycle. Manufacturing impacts are primarily driven by energy (natural gas and electricity) use. Therefore, projects that improve energy efficiency have been and will continue to be a primary area of focus. Hardware accessories, especially those that contain metals such as brass and steel, also carry a greater contribution toward overall product environmental impact. Mass reduction and material substitution are areas of focus within the supplier operations portion of the product life cycle. Where applicable, water use reduction efforts will see the greatest return on investment due primarily to the associated reduction in energy required to pump and treat this water. These efforts must be balanced against the product and product system’s capacity to operate effectively when less water is available as a motive force.
