This declaration is relevant to vitreous china ceramic
sanitaryware produced at a single location at
Çan/Semedeli plant in Çanakkale in Turkey. This EPD
declaration applies to all vitreous china ceramic
sanitaryware production by Kaleseramik. This is an
average EPD which represents the life cycle analysis
of the vitreous china product group. The owner of the
declaration shall be liable for the underlying information
and evidence.

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 common
material used for bathroom sanitary ware, such as
console sinks and toilets. Vitreous China sanitaryware
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 bathrooms 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 natural
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;
2

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 buildings.
Residential buildings can be rental or privately-owned
houses; non-residential buildings are other buildings
such as commercial offices, but also hospitals and
hotels. The material employed for the realization of the
sanitary products in ceramics (vitreous china, fire clay,
fine fire clay) determines the characteristics and the
final destination of the product.Ceramic sanitaryware is
extremely robust and naturally resistant.
Technical Data
Kaleseramik’s Vitreous China ceramic sanitarywares
are manufactured under the warranty of the ISO
9001:2000 Quality Management System. The
company also has OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health
Environmental Product Declaration Kaleseramik – Vitreous China Ceramic Sanitaryware
and Safety and ISO 14001 Environmental
Management systems in place.
The vitreous china sanitarywares conform to following
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.

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 materials.
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 ceramic
sanitaryware products with weights ranging from 8 to
29kg averaging at 15kg.

System boundary
This is a cradle to gate EPD with options. The system
boundary involves raw materials (A1), transport (A2),
manufacturing (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 (forming),
drying, glazing, firing, quality control and packaging.
Transport is only relevant for delivery of raw materials
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 according to
current legislation.
Packaging is assumed to end up at packaging
recycling 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 data
is only possible if all the data sets to be compared
were created according to EN 15804 and the building
context, respectively the product-specific
characteristics 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 assumed
to end up in the inert landfill sites along with other
commercial and demolition waste.
3
No possible benefits of recycling and re-use were
taken into account in the LCA work here. Kaleseramik
is looking for an outlet to get this material recycled.
