Artigo Gaia 2 mm

Name: Artigo Gaia 2 mm
Brand: Artigo

The Gaia version of the same rubber floors, made with bio-attributed and recycled feedstock in place of part of the fossil polymer. It is the same product to specify — same designs, same thicknesses, same performance — and the declaration shows it at 3.26 kgCO₂e/m² against 4.64 for the standard 2 mm, a 30% reduction. The mechanism is visible in the split: fossil emissions are actually HIGHER at 5.99, offset by 3.06 of biogenic carbon in the feedstock. That store is not permanent, so read it as bio-substitution rather than removal.

Artigo

Recorded Carbon Result

3.26kgCO₂e/m²

A1–A3 GWP-total per m² of installed 2 mm product. Net of 3.06 kgCO2e of biogenic carbon in the bio-attributed feedstock against 5.99 of fossil emissions — a substitution, not a removal. Read it with the use stage: maintenance is declared at 0.293 kgCO2e/m² PER YEAR, so on a 20-year floor cleaning contributes roughly 5.9 — more than production itself.

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. Module D shows potential impacts or benefits from reuse, recovery or recycling after the product's assessed life. It is reported separately and never added to A-C. Do not compare bar lengths between materials. Each chart may use a different scale and declared unit.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module D is outside the A–C system boundary and is not added to A–C. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

* Includes the EPD’s A4/A5 scenario assumptions, not project-specific transport or installation. This is the aggregation the proposed Part Z applies upfront limits to. The A1–A3 figure includes declared biogenic storage of -3.06 kgCO₂e; Part Z aggregates upfront carbon excluding sequestered carbon, which is the assessor's adjustment to make.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

1 year · EPD reference service life

RECORDED AS DECLARED, NOT AS EXPECTED LIFE. The declaration states a reference service life of 1 year and models the use stage over one year, because module B2 (maintenance) is declared per year. A rubber contract floor is specified to last decades; this figure is an artefact of the declaration's scope, not a durability claim.

≈60 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.
