Recycled PET is sourced from a variety of sources including pre-consumerreclaimed fibers and post-consumer products, such as plastic bottles and textiles.Polyethylene (PE): Class of synthetic fossil based polymers produced from the polymerization of ethylene.Life Cycle Assessment Stages and Reported EPD InformationSourcing/Extraction (Raw Material Acquisition) StageThe exact route will vary based on each individual raw material’s specific supply chain. In general, a material beginsvia extraction from the Earth or from pre- or post-consumer recycled feedstock and moves through a series ofprocessing steps prior to being received at a manufacturing facility. Processing may include the addition orremoval of supplemental materials and/or by-products. A series of transportation steps are required to move intermediate goods between facilities. Transportation modes may include truck, rail, sea freight and/or air.Manufacturing StageThe manufacturing process involves first mechanically binding PET face fiber onto the PE primary backing. Thisintermediate product is then laminated onto the PET secondary backing. The final product is then cut into carpettiles and packaged for shipping to customer.Environmental Product Declaration Program OperatorNSF International789 N.

In Motion Collection:Velocity, Accelerate & MomentumModular Commercial Floor CoveringUse StageUSE OF THE FLOOR COVERINGThe reference service life of J J Flooring Group Kinetex is 15 years. Although J J’s Kinetex may be replacedsooner due to changes in fashion. We are proud to offer to the market a limited lifetime warranty on most ofour products.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCEThe LCA was modeled with the following cleaning and mantenance parameters:LEVEL OF USECOMMERCIALCLEANING PROCESSCLEANING FREQUENCY(TIMES / YEAR)CONSUMPTION OF ENERGYAND RESOURCESVacuum Cleaning4 times / weekElectrical EnergyRinse Cleaning2 times / yearElectrical Energy, WaterDeep Cleaning (extraction)2 times / yearElectrical Energy, Water, cleaning agent.STRUCTURAL DAMAGEKinetex should not be installed until all structural damage has been adequately repaired and determined to becode compliant.End of Life StageRECYCLE, REUSE, OR REPURPOSEDue to the unique construction of Kinetex, the product is able to be recycled at much higher rates than standardflooring products. At the end of its useful life, J J Flooring Group expects that all Kinetex to be reclaimed.DISPOSALRecycling of J J Flooring Group’s flooring is recommended. Additionally, it is recommended that customersutilize J J Flooring Group’s flooring reclamation program for the recycling of J J Flooring Group flooring. Toinitiate the carpet reclamation process, please call 1.800.241.4586. However, flooring can be disposed of inmunicipal landfills or sent to waste-to-energy facilities (subject to local regulations).Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)GeneralA cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted in accordance to the ISO14040/14044 series ofstandards. Additionally, external third parties critically reviewed the LCA study. The LCA assessed the Sourcing,Manufacturing, Delivery and Installation, Use, and End-of-life stages of the product’s life cycle.Description of the functional unitThe functional unit is 1 square meter of Kinetex flooring.
