PAGE 4/17 LCA information Declared unit: One (1) m2 of waterproofing membrane for the reference service life of 75 years. Reference service life: 75 years. Time representativeness: Primary data were provided by the manufacturer and represent all information for calendar year 2022. Database(s) and LCA software used: MLC (Managed LCA Content) Database 2023.2 and LCA FE (Life Cycle Assessment for Experts) 10.7.1.28 software. Description of system boundaries: Cradle-to-grave, modules A1-A5, modules B1-B7, modules C1–C4, and module D. System diagram: Manufacturing: KERDI Waterproofing Membrane is manufactured by bonding polyethylene layers, providing flexibility and waterproofing in joints. These precise processes ensure reliable, efficient products for various installations. The membranes are then cut to desired dimensions and packaged using cardboard and tape, which is then palletized and covered with shrink wrap for protection. Energy resources used in the manufacturing process are accounted for in the model. Electricity: The electricity is sourced from the power grid, and no onsite electricity generation is used. A custom residual grid mix was created to comply with modelling requirements of the PCR. The climate impact of the created grid mix is 0.184 kg CO2 eq./kWh.

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 KERDI waterproofing membranes 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:
PAGE 6/17 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. 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. Any waste generated at manufacturing would have been treated as co-products. However, at manufacturing there was no waste sent to recycling, any waste produced was sent to incineration so co-product allocation wasn’t necessary for this study. 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. Modules declared, geographical scope:

Tile or stone is installed on top of the KERDI with the thin-bed method. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to ensure proper results. Installation equipment is required, and the ancillary installation materials are included. However, the manufacturing of the installation equipment is not included in the study as these are multi-use tools and the impacts per Declared unit are considered negligible. Packaging and installation waste disposal have been modeled as per guidelines in US EPA Waste Disposal Pathways.

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.
