Product Environmental Profile - PEP
Use
The products of the ZB4BW range do not generate environmental pollution (noise, emissions) requiring special precautionary measures in
standard use.
End of life
At end of life, the products in the ZB4BW range have been optimized to decrease the amount of waste and allow recovery of the product
components and materials.
This product range doesn’t need any special end-of-life treatment. According to countries’ practices this product can enter the usual end-of-life
treatment process.
The recyclability potential of the products has been evaluated using the “ECO'DEEE recyclability and recoverability calculation method” (version
V1, 20 Sep. 2008 presented to the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management: ADEME).
According to this method, the potential recyclability ratio is: 41 %.
As described in the recyclability calculation method this ratio includes only metals and plastics which have proven industrial recycling processes.
Environmental impacts
Life cycle assessment has been performed on the following life cycle phases: Materials and Manufacturing (M), Distribution (D), Installation (I)
Use (U), and End of life (E).
Modeling hypothesis and method:
- the calculation was performed on the ZB4BW333
- product packaging: is included
- installation components: no special components included.
- scenario for the Use phase: this product range is included in the category 3: assumed service life is 20 years and don’t need define the using
scenario.
The electrical power model used for calculation is European model.
End of life impacts are based on a worst case transport distance to the recycling plant (1000km)

Life cycle assessment has been performed with the EIME software (Environmental Impact and Management Explorer), version 4, and with its
database version 11.
The manufacturing phase is the life cycle phase which has the greatest impact on the majority of environmental indicators.
According to this environmental analysis, proportionality rules may be used to evaluate the impacts of other products of this range according to
the weight of the product.
System approach
This emergency stop head can be mounted on a new generation metal base using only one screw (2 screws needed in the past generation).
As the products of the range are designed in accordance with the RoHS Directive (European Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003), they
can be incorporated without any restriction in an assembly or an installation subject to this Directive.
Please note that the values given above are only valid within the context specified and cannot be used directly to draw up the environmental
assessment of an installation.
