PAGE 3/16 Company information Owner of the EPD: Schluter Systems Contact: Daniel Marvin. sustainability@schluter.com Description of the organization: Schluter Systems is a manufacturer and distributor of products designed to make the installation of ceramic tile and stone easier and longer lasting. Schluter has four locations in North America: Plattsburgh, New York; Reno, Nevada; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; and Montréal, Québec, as well as six European offices, including its main headquarters in Iserlohn, Germany. With over 2500 employees across the globe, Schluter Systems is dedicated to creating innovative solutions for the tile industry, and working closely with its network of distributors, dealers, tile contractors, architects, specifiers and other members of the building and construction industry. Location of production site(s): North America Product information Product name: SET Unmodified Thin-set Mortar. Product identification: CSI division 09 30 00, UN CPC 37510 Product description: Schluter SET® is a premium, unmodified thin-set mortar for use as a bond coat within tile assemblies that is optimized for use with Schluter® membranes and boards. Schluter SET® is smooth and creamy, as well as easy to handle and spread. It is ideal for setting tile on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Schluter SET® is suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile, including large and heavy tile, in conjunction with Schluter®-Systems’ uncoupling and waterproofing membranes (e.g., DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI, etc.), the Schluter®-Shower System, and KERDI-BOARD. Schluter SET® can be used in both interior and exterior systems and is available in both grey and white.

PAGE 4/16 Description of system boundaries: Cradle-to-grave, modules A1-A5, modules B1-B7, modules C1–C4. System diagram: Manufacturing: Raw materials are stored at Schluter’s facility until required for production. To manufacture all product groups, they weigh, blend, and mix the powders. Then, Schluter packages the products into bags or cartons and palletizes them. There is no material scrap, as any offcuts or excess are re-ground and reintegrated into the production process. After this, they are transported to customer locations or job sites. All manufacturers of products represented by this EPD are governed by federal and local requirements for dust control. Where applicable, they have incorporated dust collection systems in their processes to optimize material usage and mitigate airborne dust and particulate matter within the factory. Energy resources used in the manufacturing process are accounted for in the model. Electricity: Energy resources used in the manufacturing process are accounted for in the model. The electricity is sourced from the power grid, and no onsite electricity generation is used. The residual grid mix represents the combination of energy sources supplying an electricity grid, excluding energy claimed by individual consumers. This calculation prevents the double counting of clean energy. The Schulter manufacturing facility, located in Plattsburgh, NY, falls within the NYUP grid region. To ensure renewable energy is not counted twice, it was removed from the grid mix, and fossil fuel sources were proportionally scaled up to reflect actual consumption. It is assumed that imports are 100% non-renewable.

Packaging materials are also included in the model in this stage with the values being calculated via direct measurement. Assumptions: Throughout this study, value choices and judgements that may have affected the LCA have been described. Additional decisions are summarized below: • The inclusion of overhead energy data was determined appropriate due to the inability to sub-meter and isolate manufacturing energy from overhead energy. • The use and selection of secondary datasets from MLC – The selection of which generic dataset to use to represent an aspect of a supply chain is a significant value choice. Collaboration between the LCA practitioner, the manufacturer, and MLC data experts was invaluable in determining best-case scenarios in the selection of data. However, no generic data can be a perfect fit. Improved supply chain specific data would improve the accuracy of results, however budgetary and time constraints also must be considered. Cut-off Rules: The cut-off criteria did not exceed 1 % of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1 % of the total mass input of that unit process. The total of neglected input flows per module, e.g. per module A1-A3, A4-A5, B1-B5, B6-B7, C1-C4 and module D are less than 5 % of energy usage and mass. There are no hazardous or toxic substances that have been knowingly excluded from the study. The list of excluded materials and energy inputs include: • As the tools used during the installation of the SETs are multi-use tools and can be reused after each installation, the per-declared unit impacts are considered negligible and therefore are not included. • Some material inputs may have been excluded within the MLC datasets used for this project. All MLC datasets have been critically reviewed and conform to the exclusion requirement of the PCR, Construction Products PCR 2019: 14, Version 1.3.4. Data Quality: Geographic Coverage: The geographical scope of the manufacturing portion of the life cycle is North America. All primary data were collected from the manufacturer. The geographic coverage of primary data is considered good.
PAGE 6/16 The geographical scope of the raw material acquisition is the United States and Canada. Customer distribution, site installation, and use portions of the life cycle is within North America. Overall geographic data quality is considered good. Time Coverage: Primary data were provided by the manufacturer and represent all information for calendar year 2022. Using this data meets the PCR requirements. Time coverage of this primary data is considered excellent. Technological Coverage: Primary data provided by the manufacturer is specific to the technology the company uses in manufacturing their product. It is site-specific and considered of good quality. It is worth noting that the energy and water used in manufacturing the product includes overhead energy such as lighting, heating, and sanitary use of water. Sub-metering was not available to extract process-only energy and water use from the total energy use. Sub-metering would improve the technological coverage of data quality. Allocation: General principles of allocation were based on ISO 14040/44. There are no products other than the product under study that are produced as part of the manufacturing processes. Since there are no co-products, no allocation based on co-products is required. Waste generated at manufacturing are treated as co-products. To derive a per-unit value for manufacturing inputs such as electricity, allocation based on total production by mass was adopted. As a default, secondary MLC datasets use a physical basis for allocation.

PAGE 8/16 Distribution Details SET Capacity utilization volume factor 1 A5 (Construction) Scenario Per Declared Unit Tile should not be installed until any and all structural damage to the building has been adequately repaired and determined to be code compliant. Surfaces must be structurally sound, stable, and rigid enough to support the mortar, grout, and tile, in addition to any other tile installation products. Cement mortar for tile installation is usually installed by hand. The mortar is applied to a pre-fixed substrate using a notched trowel, tiles are then pressed into the mortar which is allowed to cure for a specified amount of time.

Mortar does not need water for cleaning purposes since this product is concealed behind surface materials such as tile. Once installed, they lie below tile flooring protecting the substrate from any damage due to moisture or leakage. These membranes typically last as long as the building (75 years) and generally don’t need to be replaced unless they are damaged or not installed as per manufacturer guidelines. C1-C4 (Product End of Life) Scenario Per Declared Unit There are no impacts during deconstruction as the product is either disposed of with the rest of the floor and/or substrate or manually removed via scraping. Mortar is landfilled at end-of-life. All pre-treatment required resource inputs and management activities of the disposal site included through the use of secondary GaBi dataset. Distance to end-of-life facilities is assumed to be 100 km. Table 7.

Specifically, option B within Annex 3 of the PCR (EPD International, 2022) was utilized for these calculations, whereby the energy used as raw material is declared as an input to the module where it enters the product system and as an output from the product system if it exits the product system as useful energy.
