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 UNITBT 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 Dome-Top® barb locking cable tiesSimaPro v9.6.0.1LCIA METHODOLOGY & VERSION NUMBERTRACI 2.1; CML 4.1; EN 15804+A2REFERENCE PCR AND VERSION NUMBERPERIOD OF VALIDITY5 yearsEPD TYPEProduct SpecificDATASET VARIABILITYN/ALCI DATABASE(S) & VERSION NUMBEREcoinvent v3.10 & USLCI v2.0UL Solutions333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, IL 60611This declaration was independently verified in accordance with ISO 14025: 2006.

Panduit Corporation Cable TiesAccording toISO 14025, ISO 14040,and EN 15804+A2Cable Management Solutions Product CategoryEnvironmental Product DeclarationEstimates and AssumptionsPrimary 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.The 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.End of LifeThe 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.The LCA results within this EPD are reported in SI units.Data SourcesUnitsThe uptake and release of biogenic carbon throughout the product life cycle follows EN 15804+A2.Treatment of Biogenic CarbonComparability and BenchmarkingData 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.Period Under Review 7 of 16

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.LCA: Scenarios and Additional Technical InformationUnitUnitPackaging MaterialAmountQuantityCardboardPaperPackagingThe packaging material is composed of plastic wrap, paper, cardboard, adhesive tape, and wood pallets as listed below.Manufacturingkm / 1 Function UnitFor life cycle modeling of the considered products, SimaPro developed by PRé Sustainability, is used.

Panduit Corporation Cable TiesAccording toISO 14025, ISO 14040,and EN 15804+A2Cable Management Solutions Product CategoryEnvironmental Product DeclarationProduct UseThis study assumes that modules B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, and B7 are null. BT cable tie products require no maintenance, repair, or refurbishment during the reference service life. And finally, as the life cycle of this product is only 20 years, no additional replacements are required.Re-use PhaseProduct InstallationkmLandfillInstallation Scrap RatePackaging Waste (Incineration)Truck 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.The 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.NameIncineration with Energy RecoveryUnit--Truck TransportationDuring installation, cable ties are installed manually and require no additional installation materials. To install BT 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.
