Environmental product declaration KONE Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs, provide independently verified information about the environmental performance of our products. EPDs are based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data from studies carried out in compliance with the ISO 14040 standard. This EPD lists all the components and environmental impacts of a representative sampling of our products throughout their life cycles, including energy and material consumption, waste generation, and emissions. This EPD is a self-declaration developed in compliance with the ISO 14025 standard for Product SelfDeclarations. The Life Cycle Assessment on which this EPD is based was jointly conducted by KONE and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Product reviewed in this document Elevator type KONE MonoSpace® elevator Load range Speed range Travel range KONE Corporation The results of this EPD are applicable to a typical elevator, based on the KONE MonoSpace ®, installed in a residential building.

Life Cycle Assessment Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool for assessing the environmental impacts associated with a product, process, or service throughout its life cycle. The LCA includes Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) analysis that involves creating an inventory of flows to and from the environment as well as Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), where the significance of potential environmental impacts based on the LCI flow results is evaluated. The LCA covers the most important environmental aspects related to raw material production, component manufacturing, delivery, installation, use,...

Total primary energy and emissions to air Values per elevator, with reference operation 1 km distance Total primary energy Values per elevator for the whole life cycle Emissions expressed in terms of environmental impact categories* Values per elevator, with reference operation 1 km distance Values per elevator for the whole life cycle Equivalent unit Photochemical oxidation Acidification Frequency of starts/ year [h]* Energy consumption/ year [kWh] * Note that the impacts have different equivalent units. Values are calculated according to the factors of the CML impact assessment method.

Product material content Product recycling description The KONE MonoSpace® elevator is mainly composed of steel and cast iron. The product does not contain asbestos, paints containing lead or cadmium pigments, capacitors containing PCBs or PCTs, ozone layer-depleting chemicals such as CFCs, or chlorinated solvents. Mercury is not used in applications other than lighting. Cadmium stabilisers are not used in plastics. At the end of its operational life, the elevator is dismantled and about 55% of the material weight (some steel and cast iron components) can be sorted and reused without...
