LIFECYCLE IMPACT CATEGORIES
The environmental impacts listed below were assessed through the product’s lifecycle over 75 years (cradle to grave impacts)—including production,
construction, use (including use, maintenance, refurbishment and replacement), and end of life.
Global Warming
Potential refers to
long-term changes
in global weather
patterns that are
caused by increased
concentrations of
greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere.
Photochemical Ozone
Creation Potential
happens when
sunlight reacts with
hydrocarbons, nitrogen
oxides, and volatile
organic compounds, to
produce air pollution
known as smog.
Eutrophication Potential
occurs when excessive
nutrients cause
increased algae growth
in lakes, blocking the
underwater penetration
of sunlight needed to
produce oxygen and
resulting in the loss of
aquatic life.
Ozone Depletion
Potential is the
destruction of the
stratospheric ozone
layer, which shields the
earth from ultraviolet
radiation thats
harmful to life, caused
by human-made air
pollution.
Acidication Potential
is the result of human-
made emissions and
refers to the decrease
in pH and increase in
acidity of oceans, lakes,
rivers, and streams –
polluting groundwater
and harming aquatic
life.
Depletion of Abiotic
Resources (Elements)
refers to the reduction
of available non-
renewable resources,
such as metals, that are
found on the periodic
table of elements, due
to human activity.
Depletion of Abiotic
Resources (Fossil Fuels)
refers to the decreasing
availability of non-
renewable carbon-
based compounds, such
as oil and coal, due to
human activity.

VARIES
Ceramic tile can outlast multiple generations of building occupants
and is commonly reused in an existing building or salvaged for use
in a new building. Solid and inert, it can also be used in a variety of
post-life applications such as clean fill, roadway paving, and raw
materials used to manufacture new products. To represent a "worst
case" scenario, this EPD reports environmental impacts based on
100% of all tile removal waste being disposed of in a landfill.
