The process involved an intensive study being made of the many different production processes and materials being used. The results were then critically reviewed and analysed by a team of external experts. Due to GUT\u2019s previous experience and long track record in this field, a reliable model of different production methods of textile floor coverings was developed.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This flexible and modular concept allows EPD\u2019s for existing products to be reliably calculated as well as facilitating predictions about the effects of changes in the production process or the influence of recycling variants by using a balanced “what-if” analysis.

They are freely available on INIES which is the French national database and since July 2017 every construction product in France must have a FDES.
