The
 impact
 assessment
 was
 performed
 with
 the
 ReCiPe
 v1.12
 methodology
 processed
 by
 SimaPro
 
8.0.5.
  The
  results
  were
  normalized
  to
  compare
  the
  environmental
  impact
  of
  the
  representative
 
surface
 cladding
 to
 the
 European
 reference
 impact.
 Figure

 Untreated
 cladding
 dominates
 
Ecosystems,
 the
 principal
 damage
 category,
 due
 to
 the
 impact
 of
 agricultural
 land
 use,
 because
 it
 
uses
 3
 times
 the
 amount
 of
 wood
 than
 others
 claddings.
 Untreated
 cladding
 has
 a
 negative
 impact
 
on
  Human
  Health
  and
  Resources
  through
  the
  recovery
  of
  energy
  and
  the
  avoided
  use
  of
  fossil
 
resources
  on
  Fossil
  depletion
  and
  Climate
  change
  impacts.

categories
