Modelling Sanding Belts and Discs as Ancillary Materials

Product LCA & EPD
1

Hi all,

I’m modelling a wooden product in One Click LCA. During the manufacturing process, sanding belts and sanding discs are used as ancillary materials. I couldn’t find any data points for these materials—does anyone have suggestions on how I should model them?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Adeleh,

Thanks for your question, and for contributing to our Community!

These ancillary items would need to be modelled based on their constituent materials, such as paper, adhesive, and abrasive material.
The suppliers of the sanding belts/discs should be able to provide you with information about the types of materials and their share in the product.

I hope this helps,
Graham
