Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
Acrylic shower trays, bathtubs and basins.
Technical purpose of product or process Acrylic products mainly include shower trays and bathtubs made of a mix of fossil, mineral and bio based materials. The manufacturing process involves several key steps: first, an acrylic sheet is thermoformed using a mould. Next, the rear part of the product is reinforced with a combination of resin, mineral fillers, fiberglass, and chipboard. This is followed by curing, machining, inspection, and finally, packing.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
