The Environmental Choice

Dulux envirO2 is a premium range of environmentally responsible paints that don’t


compromise on washability, stain resistance and application performance. It has very
low VOC content, with less than one gram per litre, low odour and helps to prevent
mould growth. With Global GreenTag™ certifications, it’s the environmental choice.

Product Life Cycle Overview

This EPD and the underlying LCA comply with the following standards:
• PCR 2012:01 Construction Products and Construction Services, Version 2.33, 2020-09-18 (IEPDS, 2020)
• Instructions of the Australasian EPD Programme v3.0 (AEPDS, 2018)
• The International EPD System General Programme Instructions (GPI) v3.01 (IEPDS, 2019)
• ISO standards on Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040, 2006) (ISO 14044, 2006)

The expired standard ‘PCR 2014:05 Paints, Varnishes and Related Products’ (IEPDS, 2014) was used to inform the EPD when PCR
2012:01 was not specific enough.

Declared Unit
This EPD is valid for a declared unit of 1m2 of coated surface using the number of coats recommended by AS/NZS 2311:2009
(as shown in Table 1 on page 6).

Content Declaration
The paints included in this EPD are proprietary and as such a detailed content declaration cannot be given. Ranges have instead
been provided, as seen below. None of the products in this EPD contain hazardous materials identified in the European Chemicals
Agency’s Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) (ECHA, 2020) at a concentration of greater than 0.1% of
the mass.
Material Type Composition Range (All Products)
Monomers (dry mass) (e.g. acrylates) 5-25%
Pigments (dry mass) (e.g. titanium dioxide) 10-25%
Extenders (e.g. kaolin, perlite) 0-40%
Other (e.g. organic alcohols) 0-5%
Water 35-50%

Scope
This EPD is of the cradle-to-gate type with options. It includes EN 15804 Modules A1-A5, C2, C4 and D (see Table 2).
These modules are for paint production (A1-A3), transport to customer (A4), paint application (A5), end-of-life transport (C2),
disposal (C4) and recycling potential for future product systems (D).

Other life cycle stages (Modules B1-B7 and C1, C3) are dependent on particular scenarios and best modelled at the building level.

Using this EPD


All EPDs declare the impacts of 1m2 of painted surface, assuming the recommended number of coats and typical coverage rates.

To calculate the impacts of a paint system, add the results of the prepcoat and topcoat together for each module separately
(A1-A3, A4, A5, etc.)

Production (Modules A1-A3)


The production stage includes extraction and processing of raw materials, transport to Dulux, paint manufacture and packaging.
All paints in this EPD assume production by Dulux at our primary production facility in Merrifield, Victoria. Paint manufacture
involves mixing of carefully selected and measured ingredients to ensure that the paint meets desired properties.

The results in this EPD are reported for the largest packaging size available, as this is the size class intended for commercial
painters. The packaging material (tinplated steel or polypropylene) and size (in litres) is noted above each results table later in
this EPD. If the potential environmental impacts of alternative packaging sizes fall within ±10% for Modules A1-A3, this is also
noted above the table. In these cases, the results for the declared packaging size also apply to these alternative packaging sizes
for Modules A1-A3.

Environmental Indicators

Key environmental indicators are defined below, alongside their notable ramifications.
All indicators represent the potential to cause environmental impacts; they do not predict if specific environmental thresholds,
safety margins or risks will be exceeded. The actual impacts on the environment typically depend upon local, regional and/or
global conditions.
