Product Product description Sanitaryware is the generic term used to describe items which traditionally were made from pottery. i.e. WC's, Washbasins and Bidets installed within a bathroom or washroom. Vitreous China is a com-mon material used for bathroom sanitary ware, such as console sinks and toilets. Vitreous China sani-taryware products are primarily made of clay, kaolin, feldspar and quartz but they may also include small quantities of other raw materials. Its high gloss, stain resistant surface is ideal for use in both bath-rooms and kitchens. The casting slip is made of the above craw materials are prepared and cast into plaster moulds to form a green body. The green body then undergoes a natu-ral drying process and were given a smooth finish. Glazing is applied before firing at 1200°C to obtain Vitreous China sanitaryware with almost no water absorption. A standard product classification in sanitaryware is as follows: Main pieces: toilet pans, basin, lavatory; Larger bathroom pieces: shower tray, bathtub;

Other pieces: bidet, pedestals, washbasins and WCs for communities and for disabled people, etc.

Toilet pans manufactured by Kaleseramik has very low of water consumption of 2.7lt per flush.

Application Sanitaryware can be applied in newly constructed buildings and in renovation and maintenance projects in both residential and non-residential build-ings. Residential buildings can be rental or privately-owned houses; non-residential buildings are other buildings such as commercial offices, but also hos-pitals and hotels. The material employed for the realization of the sanitary products in ceramics (vit-reous china, fire clay, fine fire clay) determines the characteristics and the final destination of the prod-uct. Ceramic sanitaryware is extremely robust and naturally resistant.

Technical Data Kaleseramik’s Vitreous China ceramic sanitary-wares are manufactured under the warranty of the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System. The company also has OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 14001 Environmental Management systems in place.


The vitreous china sanitarywares conform to follow-ing standards and specifications: - The dimensioning of the vitreous china saniatry ware is shown below (width x length x height mm): Wash basin:350x345x165 and 650x440x177 WC Pan: 360x510x390, 350x625x420 Cistern: 345x185x355, 352x140x430 Urinal: 310x475x320, 360x550x340 - The ratio of Vitreous China and Fine Fire Clay products is 97% and 3%, respectively. - Harkord-Cracking Test according to TL 20: Compliant - Water absorption test according to EN 997 (max 0.5%): Compliant - Resistance to chemicals and staining agents according to NFD 14-508:1985: Compliant - Surface hardness test to TS 605: Compliant - Resistance to acids according to NFD 14-508:2012: Compliant

- Resistance to hot alkalines according to NFD 14-507:2012: Compliant Base materials / Ancillary materials Vitreous China ceramic sanitaryware is primarily made of raw materials such as clay, feldspar, kaolin and quartz, which are all naturally occurring materi-als. Products do not contain any substances that can be included in “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation” and raw materials used are not part of the EU REACH regulation. Ceramic sanitaryware products have a long life and can be disposed of in inert landfill sites at the end of their useful life.

Reference service life This EPD is relevant to cradle to factory gate and therefore no reference to useful life is required.

LCA: Calculation rules Declared unit

The declared unit is 1 tonne of Vitreous China ce-ramic sanitaryware products with weights ranging from 8 to 29kg averaging at 15kg.

System boundary This is a cradle to gate EPD. The system boundary involves raw materials (A1), transport (A2), manu-facturing (A3) and disposal (C4). ‘Raw materials’ includes pre-treatment before production such as casting slip, plaster mould and glaze preparations. Manufacturing stages start with slip casting (form-ing), drying, glazing, firing, quality control and packaging. Transport is only relevant for delivery of raw mate-rials to the plant and forklift usage within the factory. Sanitaryware production waste is inert waste, which is stored on site then disposed of in landfills accord-ing to current legislation. Packaging is assumed to end up at packaging recy-cling streams and plaster mould and product discards ends up at C&D related waste. The flow of the process is depicted on the right.

Comparability Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD da-ta is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to EN 15804 and the build-

ing context, respectively the product-specific charac-teristics of performance, are taken into account. This EPD is comparable with fine fire clay ceramic sanitaryware that comply with the PCR document Part B: Sanitary ceramics and evaluated according to prEN 15804. The flow of the process is depicted below:

LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information Reuse- Recovery- and Recycling potential (D) Ceramic sanitaryware normally ends up in inert landfill sites with other building waste. They can be recycled back for utilization in different applications. They are often ground into base rock for use in road construction. In this study, sanitaryware was as-sumed to end up in the inert landfill sites along with other commercial and demolition waste.

No possible benefits of recycling and re-use were taken into account in the LCA work here. Kalesera-mik is looking for an outlet to get this material recycled.
