1. Scope and Applicability
This method covers a single white pigment-uncoated chemical-pulp fine-paper grade of nominal 250 g/m2, given a two-sided linen texture by mechanical embossing calenders after receipt of dried unembossed base paper, then trimmed/sheeted, conditioned, inspected and protected for factory-gate delivery. The commercial representative is Favini Biancoflash Premium Classic Linen LN 2/S, corroborated as uncoated textured 250 g/m2 paper by the original printer-media table. Nominal grammage identifies the grade; it is not a production recipe, a default moisture, an actual shipment mass or an automatic quality tolerance. Actual base-paper furnish, two-sided roller texture, absence of pigment coating and current acceptance specification must be demonstrated for each dataset. [favini-biancoflash-range, favini-embossed-tds, ricoh-media-2021]
The specific foreground endpoint adds physical surface-pattern formation and rejection/trim/conditioning accounting to upstream base-paper manufacture. This is distinct from Yankee blade-creped tissue parent reels, Clupak extensible sack paper and plain unembossed printing/writing base paper. It excludes creping, perforating, felt marking during wet formation, kraft sack paper, tissue/nonwoven conversion, coated/primed/metallic papers, coloured/ivory variants, composite laminating, adhesive labelstock, printed stationery and envelope/box manufacture. Integrated pulping or papermaking is not inside this converter gate; link compatible upstream base paper once.
Roll embossing configurations can use steam or run without it. The actual converter must document its selected machinery, pass sequence and steam/conditioning arrangement. Producer case evidence is not proof of Favini's own as-run machinery or universal settings. This method permits externally supplied indirect industrial-boiler steam heat, electrically supplied drives/heating and treated-water conditioning; direct steam injection, thermal-oil systems, on-site combustion and on-site wastewater treatment/direct discharge require separate reviewed route extension. No unmeasured exchange is declared zero. [gmund-embossing-process]

Every qualifier is required in the actual dataset metadata or product/process description. P is the measured accepted net output over the matching campaign, not an assumed nominal-grammage area conversion. The broad reference UUID is used only for the declared finished subset.
4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| reference_mass | reference product | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | P is accepted net sheet mass at actual gate moisture, excluding all packaging, rejects and work in progress; collect with cp_mass. All rows use the same per 1 kg denominator. |
| physical_basis | auxiliary physical-balance ledgers for material streams; excludes native electricity, steam_heat and freight exchange fields | Mass | kg | Record actual wet mass m and same-stream wet-basis moisture w; dry solids d = m*(1-w). Assay carbon/fillers where a carbon or solids balance uses them. Preserve input/output stock corrections, physical rework and packaging separately. Vendor moisture/tolerance is not an assay. Auxiliary material mass does not replace native electricity/heat MJ or freight kg*km; retain the independent utility_basis and native_utility_conversion definitions. |
| utility_basis | electricity, steam_heat, process_water, condensate_return | Net calorific value / Gross calorific value / Mass | MJ / MJ / kg | Electricity uses native NCV/MJ with exact 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ conversion, not efficiency. Steam heat native GCV/MJ requires supplier k_bg, actual net enthalpy and physical steam/condensate kg; same enthalpy datum, state, storage and losses once. Match all pressure/name constraints; MJ alone does not prove a delivery basis. Water volume converts using actual density at temperature. |
| emission_basis | pm25, pm25_10, pm10plus, water_vapour | Mass | kg | Only final attributable outdoor release; mutually exclusive PM fractions, captured dust separate. Physical water and carbon balances use measured material composition. Keep any actual biogenic CO2 in LCI even when a GHG reporting convention excludes it; actual unexpected emissions require separate verified species/origin/medium rows before a complete dataset. |
5. System Boundary

| starting_condition_role | foreground input gate |
| product_classification_scope | CPC:3.0:32142; narrower |
| recursive_input_rule | Already embossed purchased sheets for repacking are outside this route; purchased unembossed paper links upstream once. Internal rework/recirculated dust are equal physical loops, not new purchases. |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Actual compatible base-paper, utilities, transport, consumable, packaging and external waste-treatment datasets; preserve manufacturing route/geography/year and native reference quantities. Missing or incompatible links prevent complete cradle-to-gate claims. |
| disclosure | Converter gate-to-gate versus linked cradle-to-gate; exact machines/energy/conditioning; waste receiver; stock changes/rework; actual packaging; excluded upstream production and downstream printing/articles |
| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
| boundary_finish | emboss_convert | Include receipt/unwrapping, roller embossing on both sides, actual rework, edge cutting/sheeting, conditioning, inspection, dust capture, attributable utility/maintenance and protection/dispatch within the declared converter gate. Retain stage meter and physical flow records within one aggregate foreground unit. | gmund-embossing-process, jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
| boundary_upstream | base_paper | Exclude pulping, wet papermaking, bleaching and base drying from this foreground; link purchased base with an upstream dataset once. No wood-processing survey or plywood inventory supplies paper-converter factors. | jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
| boundary_utility | steam_heat | Purchased heat generation is upstream; preserve incoming steam/returned condensate physical mass separately from the heat-service MJ exchange without duplicate fuel, water input or return-enthalpy credit. No boiler is inside this converter route. | jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
| boundary_residual | emboss_convert | Internal paper/dust return never crosses the gate twice. External trim, captured dust and final air release remain separate. Off-site whole effluent transfer is not direct release of water/pollutants to the environment. Disclose actual auxiliary components individually before data completion. | jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
6. Process Inventory Structure
Process Map
| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| emboss_convert | Linen embossing, sheeting and protection | required | Declared purchased-base converter route; actual utility branches only | foreground production | 1 kg reference flow |
Physical stage map: purchased base receipt -> unwrapping and moisture check -> controlled two-sided linen roller embossing -> edge cut and sheeting -> conditioning/inspection -> accepted sheets and protection. Internal rejected-sheet rework has equal sending/receiving mass/state/period; cutting dust separates into captured export, equal internal return and measured final outdoor emission. One aggregate foreground unit avoids representing the same finished product twice between finishing and packing. Record incoming/reel/sheet/WIP mass and water/carbon balance separately from environmental burden allocation. Packaging shipped, returned, stocked and discarded retains whole physical masses in a separate ledger; it is not part of paper reference P. [gmund-embossing-process, jrc-pp-bref-2015]

Petroleum-fraction lubricating oil (lubricating_oil)
Conditional on actual petroleum-fraction lubricating oil for emboss/cutting machinery. Confirm supplier formulation and the recorded 40.5 MJ/kg descriptor before using this identity; it is not a PCR calorific-value factor and no combustion quantity is inferred. Reject full-synthetic PAO substitution. Count the complete actual supplied lubricant formulation once in this row only on a compatible provider native-mass basis, including supplier formulation/manufacture/delivery; embedded base oil/additives are composition and physical-balance evidence, not new purchases. Only actually independently purchased oils/additives mixed onsite receive separate compatible atomic rows, with actual preparation utilities and losses. If this identity cannot represent the whole supplied formulation, retain the specific alternative and pending identity/basis rather than changing its physical construction. Retain equipment oil stocks and actual replacement/spill records.

Returned steam condensate from indirect emboss-roll heating (condensate_return)
Only actual treated boiler-water condensate accepted by the industrial steam supplier for reuse, with verified composition, treatment history, quality specification and point of return, fits this broad industrial Process Water identity. Retain actual temperature, pressure, density and whole returned kg independently of heat-service MJ; returning it is neither a new purchased water supply nor a sale with an automatic substitution credit. The heat-service accounting includes documented return enthalpy once. Contaminated rejected water requires its own waste-state row and receiver; dairy condensate and pressure-specific supplied steam cannot substitute.

Discarded used wooden pallet with retained metal fasteners (waste_pallet)
Only an actual whole used wooden pallet discarded by this converter, including retained metal fasteners, fits this industrial discarded-article subset of Waste solid. Weigh full as-transferred mass and document species, wood moisture, preservatives, fasteners, contamination and receiver. Shipped or returned reusable pallets are physical packaging transfers, not this waste. Do not scale discarded mass by pallet service allocation, combine it with film waste, or infer crushing, agglomeration, hazard status or downstream treatment. Primary woodworking offcuts cannot represent this used whole article.

Whole water-only paper-equipment cleaning effluent transferred off-site (cleaning_effluent)
Conditional on measured whole effluent transferred to an actual external treatment provider. Broad waste-liquid identity includes industrial cleaning wastewater; restrict to this composition and declared receiver. Native Mass/kg means whole wet effluent, not pure water: weigh or use V*rho_eff(T). Sample suspended fibres/fillers and dissolved contamination; use measured water mass fraction x_H2O times whole wet effluent mass for the water-component ledger, with non-water material separately reconciled. Whole effluent is not all H2O; do not sum overlapping pollutant indicators into a physical mass. This route has no duplicate direct-water release. Electrolytic manganese washing, silicon-wafer wastewater and pharmaceutical BOD are excluded. On-site wastewater treatment/direct discharge require a separate reviewed route with species/medium rows.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
| allocation_separate | emboss_convert | First isolate this grade campaign and directly metered utility/process loads; investigate subdivision/system expansion before allocating unavoidable shared burdens. Dedicated sheets retain all their directly attributable loads. System expansion, if justified, reports the complete expanded function and no automatic avoided-product credit. | ec-ef-allocation-2021 |
| allocation_relationship | emboss_convert | Use a demonstrated underlying physical relationship for unavoidable shared utility burdens; meter/time with actual operating power for drives and measured interface heat for thermal services, rather than a default tonne or revenue share. If no physical relation is defensible, justify and disclose another basis including economic sensitivity. Shares sum to one within the same period. | ec-ef-allocation-2021 |
| allocation_physical | emboss_convert | Keep full physical paper, water, carbon, packaging and residual ledger before allocation. Do not multiply physical co-product/waste outputs, internal links or pallet returns by environmental allocation shares. Treat trim as waste unless documented product status and methodology establish a separate saleable co-product; add its distinct verified state/identity and review before use. No mass disappearance or unproven recycling substitution credit. | ec-ef-allocation-2021 |

Calculation Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| campaign_normalization | all inventory rows | Use actual exchange totals attributable to the same campaign divided by measured accepted net paper mass P. Reference_product is 1 kg. Preserve unallocated physical totals separately; do not use nominal grade mass as P. | actual row quantities; P; cp_mass | Exchange per 1 kg reference flow | |
| physical_reconciliation | base_paper, reference_product, paper_trim, captured_dust, water_vapour | Reconcile actual wet mass, dry solids, water and measured carbon separately: incoming plus opening stock equals accepted paper plus actual external residual/release plus closing stock; internal sending/receiving amounts cancel at equal state and quantity. Include conditioning water and steam physical material interfaces for the water ledger, packaging in its own ledger, and air-side net moisture gain/loss. Use measured H2O fractions for whole liquid residuals and moist solids; distinguish actual atmospheric moisture uptake from negative emitted vapour. No invented yield or moisture. | cp_materials; cp_mass; cp_water; cp_heat; cp_wastes; cp_emissions | Separate physical ledgers and measured residual, with explanations | |
| native_utility_conversion | electricity, steam_heat, freight | Convert electricity kWh to MJ using exactly 3.6. Steam Q_bg = k_bgH_net only with evidenced compatible supplier definition and measured interface enthalpy, return, stock and losses once; unknown correspondence stays pending. Road transport preserves actual payload kg times km, with 1000 kgkm per t*km. | cp_electricity; cp_heat; cp_freight | raw same-campaign native reference-property totals; then normalize once by P under campaign_normalization | |
| particle_intervals | pm25, pm25_10, pm10plus | Integrate each measured final post-control concentration times matching standardized air-volume rate and operating duration; verify compatible dry/wet and standard-volume conventions. Use disjoint measured fractions; an unresolved size split remains unknown, not an invented fraction or duplicate PM10 total. | cp_emissions | raw same-campaign emitted kg by non-overlapping interval; then normalize once by P under campaign_normalization | jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
| complete_period_normalization | all inventory rows | Every existing campaign, batch or lot amount rule and linked collection protocol uses one documented complete reporting-period pool for the same declared product, grade, route, configuration, site and reference state. Accepted-lot wording identifies the denominator only; retain all attributable startup, shutdown, wholly failed or zero-output batches, rejects, work in progress and rework in the raw native-unit numerator records. Count reworked reference product once only when finally accepted. Sum each attributable exchange over this matched pool, divide once by its strictly positive accepted reference-product quantity in the declared denominator unit, and scale to the declared reference quantity. Do not average batch ratios, drop a failed batch, pool unrelated products/periods or replace native numerator units. If the entire matched pool has no accepted output, retain the unnormalized absolute inventory and require review; issue no normalized result or fabricated output. Preserve stock/return and physical-transfer ledgers independently of burden allocation; allocation never removes already-incurred failed/rework activity. | all linked raw collection protocols; accepted reference-product pool; stock and rework links | native exchange unit per declared reference quantity; zero-output pool remains unnormalized |
Data Quality Requirements
| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| identity | all inventory rows | Verify full physical identity, source route, name constraints, reference property/unit and supplier/receiver basis independently; no correction flow, route-conflicting substitute or missing-UUID proxy. | Native identity plus actual certificates/provider definitions |
| coverage | emboss_convert | Cover representative operating modes, changeovers, rework, conditioning, collector performance and actual maintenance/packaging; disclose time/stock/meter gaps and uncertainty. Survey actual roller covers, cutting blades, filters, belts, lubricants, cleaners and other consumed/replaced parts with purchase, stock and maintenance records; no material presence or absence is presumed. Each additional actually independently purchased/consumed chemical, cleaner, oil component, filter/cloth, packaging or transport mode requires its own atomic row; components already embedded in the supplied lubricant or another complete product are composition records, not duplicate purchases, while actual onsite purchases/preparation retain their real burdens. | Campaign records, itemized bill and measurement coverage |
| measurement | reference_product | Nominal 250 grade and historical catalogue tests never replace actual net P, moisture, grammage, caliper, two-sided pattern, current specification and measured residual balances. Quantitative inventories are collected, with no universal recipe or default factor. | cp_mass; favini-embossed-tds |
| physical_allocation | all inventory rows | Keep complete physical material links and balances beside attributable environmental burden account; preserve full co-product and packaging masses regardless of allocation shares. | cp_materials; cp_wastes; ec-ef-allocation-2021 |
9. Validation Rules
| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
| validate_scope | reference_product | Require the declared uncoated white nominal 250 two-sided mechanical linen paper and converter route. Reject tissue, Clupak, wet-marked, printed/coated/laminated, other texture/colour and repacking-only use. | favini-biancoflash-range, favini-embossed-tds, ricoh-media-2021 |
| validate_reference | all inventory rows | Exactly one product-output reference row; 1 kg accepted net paper, same P across quantities/protocols/calculations and both languages. Missing qualifiers, unverified net mass or incompatible moisture basis makes actual data incomplete. | |
| validate_balance | emboss_convert | Require reconciled physical wet/dry/water/carbon/packaging records, equal internal links and explanations of measured residuals. Verify utility provider conversion and one-time boundary accounting; steam MJ without state/k_bg cannot establish a complete link. | |
| validate_emissions | pm25, pm25_10, pm10plus, captured_dust, water_vapour | No nested dust totals, assumed fractions, correction flows, default positive factors or unmeasured-zero declarations. Capture/export and outdoor release are separate; unknown or unexpected species/origin/medium are explicitly incomplete until verified. Retain actual biogenic CO2 in LCI. | jrc-pp-bref-2015 |
| validate_links | all inventory rows | Conditional condensate, unwashed LDPE waste and discarded used pallet identities require actual composition/state/receiver verification; unresolved quantities or provider compatibility remain dataset-completion gaps. The authored method does not waive them or imply independent scientific approval. |
