LIMITATIONS: 1) Environmnetal declarations from different programs (ISO 14025) may not be comparable; 2) Comparison of the
environmnetal 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.

The KOHLER® Modflex™ Adjust-a-Bowl™ is a revolutionary retrofit
solution for replacing wall-mounted toilets with floor-mounted toilets.
The Modflex™ Adjust-a-Bowl™ features an innovative adjustableheight connector that attaches to the existing wall carrier and outlet. It
is designed to cover the current wall bowl footprint and requires no
refinishing of wall or floor. This retrofit solution saves thousands of
dollars in labor and material costs compared to a gut renovation and
minimizes lost revenue due to an out-of-service room.

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.
Manufacturing Process

Environmental Product Declaration
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
Commercial toilet bowls are assumed to remain in service for 10 years.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Commercial toilet bowls are assumed to require 365 cleanings per year with 50 ml of 10% HCl solution. 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

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.
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
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.
