EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to provide information on a number of environmental impacts of products over their life cycle. Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the site-specific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are designed to address these impacts and/or set performance thresholds – e.g. Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments, etc. Accuracy of Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not be comparable.EPD PROGRAM AND PROGRAM OPERATOR NAME, ADDRESS, LOGO, AND WEBSITEAccording toISO 14025, ISO 14040,and EN 15804+A2Environmental declarations from different programs (ISO 14025) may not be comparable. Comparison of the environmental performance using EPD information shall consider all relevant information modules over the full life cycle of the products within the building. This PCR allows EPD comparability only when the same functional requirements between products are ensured and the requirements of EN 15804+A2 §5.5 are met. It should be noted that different LCA software and background LCI datasets may lead to differences results for upstream or downstream of the life cycle stages declared.GENERAL PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS AND VERSION NUMBERThis life cycle assessment was independently verified in accordance with ISO 14044 and the reference PCR by:UL Environment Product Declaration ProgramGeneral Program Instructions v2.7 March 2022Cable Management Solutions Product CategoryThe sub-category PCR review was conducted by:DECLARED PRODUCT & FUNCTIONAL UNITPLT Cable TiesCable Management Solutions Product Category; Mounting Systems SubcategoryFunctional Unit = To mount a cable or a tube at a point with a cable tie with a clamping capacity between Y mm (minimum) and C mm (maximum) for a service life of 20 years.DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT(S) APPLICATION/USE Locking cable tiesSimaPro v9.6.0.1LCIA METHODOLOGY & VERSION NUMBERTRACI 2.1; CML 4.1; EN 15804+A2REFERENCE PCR AND VERSION NUMBEREPD SCOPECradle-to-Grave and Module D (A + B + C + D)PRODUCT RSL DESCRIPTIONMANUFACTURER NAME AND ADDRESSPanduit Corporation16530 W. 163rd StreetLockport, IL 60441United States of AmericaYEAR(S) OF REPORTED PRIMARY DATA2023LCA SOFTWARE & VERSION NUMBER2 of 184791654869.102.1Pep ecopassport Cooper McCollum, UL SolutionsIk-Kim

Environmental Product DeclarationPanduit Corporation Cable TiesAccording toISO 14025, ISO 14040,and EN 15804+A2Cable Management Solutions Product CategoryThe LCA results within this EPD are reported in SI units.Treatment of Biogenic CarbonThe uptake and release of biogenic carbon throughout the product life cycle follows EN 15804+A2.The period under review is the full calendar year of 2023.The data sources used are complete and representative of North America in terms of the geographic and technological coverage and are a recent vintage (i.e. less than ten years old).The data used for primary data are based on direct information sources of the manufacturer. Secondary data sets were used for raw materials extraction and processing, end of life, transportation, and energy production flows. Wherever secondary data is used, the study adopts critically reviewed data for consistency, precision, and reproducibility to limit uncertainty.Data SourcesUnitsPrimary data were collected for every process in the product system under the control of Panduit Corporation. Secondary data from ecoinvent & USLCI v2.0 databases were utilized. These data were evaluated and have temporal, geographic, and technical coverage appropriate to the scope of this Environmental Product Declaration.End of LifeComparability and BenchmarkingPeriod Under ReviewThe end-of-life scenario was modeled based on the requirements in the PSR, and therefore the study assumes the final product is 50% landfilled and 50% sent to incineration with energy recovery at the end of its life. Additionally, per the PSR, 100 km is the distance assumed that waste travels via truck before reaching the final disposal destination.Estimates and AssumptionsData QualityA comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all data sets to be compared were created according to EN 15804+A2 and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. Environmental declarations from different programs may not be comparable. Full conformance with the Product Category Rule (PCR) PEP ecopassport Program: Product Category Rules for Electrical, Electronic and HVAC-R Products, v4.0, 2021 and PEP ecopassport Program: Product Specific Rules for Cable Management Solutions, v2.0, 2023 allows EPD comparability only when all stages of the product's life cycle have been considered. However, variations and deviations are possible. 8 of 18

Nylon pellets are sent through the dryer and mixer and these virgin materials are blended with scrap materials, as well as support materials. The mixed product is then sent through the molding machine, and any scrap generated from the molding process is sorted. From this sorting process, any scrap that is viable and passes an internal quality inspection is reground and sent to be blended with virgin materials. Once the final product is molded and ready for packaging, it is packaged, placed into carts, and arranged onto pallets for shipping. The final pallets and packages are sent to the shipping area and are shipped to a warehouse for distribution.PackagingThe packaging material is composed of plastic wrap, paper, cardboard, adhesive tape, and wood pallets as listed below.Manufacturing2.33E+034.96E+03LDPEWood2.74E-029.90E-02Background data 9 of 18

To install PLT cable ties into a building, some scrap will be generated. A 5% scrap rate is assumed for excess cable tie scrap during the installation process, and this scrap rate includes upstream impacts. Packaging waste is also generated; this waste is assumed to be treated as 100% incineration, in accordance with the PSR. Note that disposal in commercial incineration facilities is permissible and should be done in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Finally, installation waste is assumed to be transported 100 km by truck, per the PSR. DisposalTruck TransportationThe end-of-life scenario was modeled based on the requirements in the PSR and assumes the final product is 50% landfilled and 50% sent to incineration with energy recovery at the end of its life. The equation below shows how the net benefits/net flows in Module D are calculated from the product that is sent to incineration with energy recovery:Electricity Energy (MJ) = 50% of product weight in kg x 28.76 MJ/kg for nylon materials x 40% recovery Within the SimaPro model, the calculated incinerated with energy recovery materials are modeled as a net benefit with electricity recovered in the next system boundary (“next life cycle”). The ecoinvent 3 United States market group electricity dataset was used to model the recovered electricity.Installation Scrap RatePackaging Waste (Incineration)Product InstallationThe end-of-life scenario was modeled based on the requirements in the PSR, and therefore the study assumes the final product is 50% landfilled and 50% sent to incineration with energy recovery at the end of its life.

Environmental Product DeclarationPanduit Corporation Cable TiesAccording toISO 14025, ISO 14040,and EN 15804+A2Cable Management Solutions Product CategoryPLT Cable Ties LCA InterpretationThe life cycle impacts are strongly driven by raw materials (A1) in global warming potential, acidification, and smog, heavily driven by nylon materials. The waste disposal (C4) stage is the driver of eutrophication, and the product distribution phase (A4) is the driver of fossil fuel depletion. Finally, ozone depletion impacts are driven by raw materials but the potential benefits in Module D present a notable negative impact.-60%-40%-20%0%20%40%60%80%100%GWPODPAP AirEPSPFFDDC4C3C2A5A4A1-A3 14 of 18
