Ceramic tiles manufactured by Seranit are placed in the market under the Seranit Porcelain and Serra Ceramic Brands.
Seranit makes its production within consciousness of responsibility and full commitment to protect its environment. By obtaining ISO 14001 Environmental Management System Certificate, Seranit applies all requirements with precision and gives priority to appropriate use of raw materials, energy efficiency in its production. Within the policy of Environment Protection Programme, Seranit continuous researches and investments in protecting environment, water recycling, reusing of waste, reducing and improving air quality from gas releases to reach the goal of zero pollution.
The emphasis Seranit places on the quality of work, human capital and environment proven with the award of national and international standards such as TSE ISO EN 14000, TS EN ISO 14001:2004, TS 18001:2008, TSE ISG OHSAS TS 18001, TSE EN 14411, ISO 9001:2008. Seranit’s quality also received the first TSE Double Star Certificate on TS EN 14411 standard in 2014.
Following the innovations in the modern production technologies and adapting these into its existing technologies, Seranit draws attention as the leader of the firsts in the porcelain tile sector. Seranit is the first factory of Turkey producing technical porcelain tiles and the first company putting the technical porcelain series in the sizes of 60x60 cm and 60x120 cm on the market, and by breaking new grounds in 2007, the technical porcelain in sizes of 90x90cm and 90x135cm in addition to the standard sizes, together with different colours and finish alternatives. Seranit is also the producer of many generic products such as Super White, which became the generic brand of the sector.
Seranit Granit Seramik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. (Seranit) was established in 1992 as the first granite ceramic factory of Turkey on 102,000m2 land in Bilecik Organized Industrial Zone with a capacity of 500,000m2. The company operates in ceramic and porcelain sectors in Turkey, manufacturing and selling ceramic wall, floor and porcelain tiles. Today Seranit has two manufacturing plants in Bilecik and Eskişehir in Turkey with a production capacity of 10 million m2 and 8.5 million m2 respectively.

Statement
The inventory for the LCA study is based on the 2013 production figures for Porcelain Tiles from Seranit’s production plants located in Eskisehir and Bilecik, Turkey. This LCA was modelled with SimaPro 8.0.4 LCA package using Ecoinvent version 3.0.1 database and impact factors.
EPD of construction products may not be comparable if they do not comply with EN 15804 norms.
The LCA for this EPD is conducted according to the guidelines of ISO 14040/44, the requirements given in the Product Category Rules (PCR) document for Construction Products and CPC 54 Construction Services (PCR 2012:01 Version 1.2, 2013-03-15), EN 15804:2012 + A1:2013 Sustainability of Construction Works: Environmental Product Declarations and the general program guidelines by The International EPD System in accordance with ISO 14025 standards.
This EPD covers the Cradle to Gate stage and disposal option.
The EPD certificate, its background data and the results will be used for business-to-business communications and is expected to be a reliable document for green building designers, architectures, manufacturers of construction products and the other stakeholders in the construction sector to understand the potential environmental impacts caused by Porcelain tiles.

Porcelain tiles are covered under this Environmental Product Declaration. Glazed porcelain tiles are manufactured in İnönü and Bilecik Plants. Full Body Porcelain tiles are manufactured in Bilecik Plant. Porcelain tiles are primarily made of naturally occurring materials such as clay and pegmatite, but they may also include other raw materials such as silica sand, frit, zircon, zinc and calcite. The compositions of both porcelain tiles are given below.
Porcelain tiles are made from a blend of fine-grain clays and other minerals to produce a very dense body making tiles highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. Tiles are pressed under high pressure and fired around 1200° C. Porcelain tiles do not absorb any stain and are resistant to frost and can be applied in both interior and exterior

Functional Unit/ Declared Unit
The declared unit is the production of 1 m2 of porcelain tiles with an average weight of approximately 22.3 kg.
Goal and Scope
The EPD evaluates the environmental impacts of 1 m2 of porcelain tiles.
The system boundary covers A1 - A3 product stages reffered as ‘Raw Material Supply’, ‘Transport’ and ‘Manufacturing’ and C4 as Disposal.
System Boundaries
Estimates and Assumptions
There are no additional product scenarios developed for this EPD. However, very small amount of packaging waste for the porcelain tiles are modelled based on the 44% collection rate enforced by law in Turkey.
Cut - Off RulesRaw materials that are also a minor constituent of the porcelain tiles amounting less than 1% of total raw materials are excluded in this study.
Background DataEcoinvent database were used as generic background data source.
Data QualityRaw materials, electricity, water use
and waste data were taken forthe relevant products based on production time scale from the
year 2013. Localized data based on Ecoinvent database developed by
Metsims were used where relevant.
Period Under ReviewThis data is representative of 2013
production figures for porcelain tiles.
AllocationsThere are no co-products in the
production of porcelain tiles. Transport is allocated according to tonnages for raw materials bought
by Seranit. Allocation for energy was made between Wall and Porcelain
Tiles based on the 2013 Production figures from Seranit’s Eskişehir plant.
The energy data for Full Body Porcelain Tiles manufactured in Seranit’s Bilecik
plant was taken seperately. Comparability
A comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible where EN 15804
has been followed, and the same building context and product-specific
characteristics of performance are taken into account and the same stages
have been included in the system boundary. According to EN 15804, EPD
of construction products may not be comparable if they do not comply with
this standard.All the waste resulting from the main production and related processes of Seranit is managed in accordance with valid legal requirements.

Upstream Processes (A1: Raw Material Supply)In this report, for porcelain tiles production starts with raw materials, mainly locally sourced but some transported from other parts of the world. ‘Raw material supply’ includes raw material extraction and pre-treatment processes before production.
Core Processes (A2:Transportation and A3: Manufacturing) Transport is relevant for delivery of raw materials to the plant and forklift usage within the factory. ‘Manufacturing’ starts with slurry preparation, granule formation by spray drying, and followed by forming the green body and drying to remove the excess humidity in the body. The green body tiles are then glazed (if required) and fired around 1200°C for Porcelain Tiles. After quality control, the end products are then packaged and dispatched. Electric energy and natural gas are consumed during the manufacturing of Porcelain Tiles.
Downstream Processes (C4: Disposal)All ceramic products end up at C&D landfill as their final fate and modelled as such in this LCA.
Waste from Glazed Porcelain Tiles are sold to cement factory to be used in their processes. Packaging waste is assumed to end up at packaging recycling streams due to the relevant national law in Turkey in 2013, which requires manufacturers to have at least 44% of their packaging waste to be recovered (C4).
Benefits and loads beyond the product system boundary in information Module D
No possible benefits of recycling and re-use were taken into account in the LCA work here. Wall, Floor and Porcelain tiles have similar faith to demolition waste and they tend to end up at C&D landfills unless they recovered.
