This Environmental Product Declaration provides a quantative description of the environmental profile
of LifeNet, based on a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)1. This LCA was carried out in compliance
with ISO 14040-44, which has assessed elements such as raw material extraction and energy use during
production; the content of materials and chemical substances; emissions to air, soil and water and waste
generation during all phases of the life cycle of the product. In other words it has holistically assessed
the full environmental impact from all processes related to the production of the nets through to
their ultimate use and disposal at end-of-life.
This LCA is independently verified for its conformity with the ISO 14040-44 standard requirements
by expert panel review.
Environmental Product Declarations can be completed according to ISO Standards (referred to under the
acronymn - EPD). Within the ISO framework an EPD contains a variety of information about the composition
and environmental characteristics of a product, based on life-cycle assessment (LCA). The exact type of
information is specific to a particular type of product group and is determined in “product specific requirements”
(PSR) or Product Category Rules (PCR). These are drawn up by industry in full consultation with stakeholders
and competitors. Currently no Product Category Rule exists for long-lasting nets in the EPD system.
The fully ISO certified LCA from which the data in this document are extracted included a direct
comparison of LifeNet with existing polyethylene and polyester nets. More detailed information from
this LCA report is available upon request.

Bayers commitment to Vector Control in Public Health
Bayer has actively participated in the fight against
vector-borne diseases for over 50 years, delivering
innovation to improve the effectiveness of existing
interventions. With LifeNet Bayer has developed a
new generation of long-lasting insecticide treated
mosquito net; the first to incorporate deltamethrin
into polypropylene. Developed specifically in
response to the challenges malaria programs face
with bednet field durability and effective lifespan,
LifeNet represents a genuinely longer lasting net;
ultimately improving the sustainability of malaria
control programs and increasing the impact on
the disease.
But today, delivering a product with improved
performance over current standards is not
enough. Whenever possible, any new product
which is developed should have an improved
environmental footprint compared to the one it
replaces. LifeNet is the first long-lasting mosquito
net from Bayer so we have committed to a full Life
Cycle Assessment (LCA) for LifeNet in order to
scientifically assess its environmental profile
compared to existing market standards.
Bayer Sustainable Development Policy:
Bayer is committed to the concept of Sustainable
Development; with economy, ecology and social
commitment being accorded equal importance
in all of our activities. To quote our group mission
statement; “we acknowledge and accept our role as
a socially and ethically responsible corporate citizen
and are committed to the principles of sustainable
development.” Consequently, respect for people
and nature and the sustainability of our actions are
among our key corporate values.
Within the Environmental Science business
this can be translated into three areas of action:
1. Solutions & Innovations: Dedicate our innovation
potential to answer tomorrows problems. While
doing this, we consider the environmental
impacts of our solutions over their entire life cycle.
2. Customer Centricity: Develop long-term
win-win partnerships by answering sustainability
concerns/expectations of key stakeholders in
the markets we operate.
3. raising standards: Behave as a market
leader by developing and implementing new
sustainability standards along the value chain.

ENvIroNmENtAL PErformANCE CALCuLAtIoN
The environmental profile of LifeNet was calculated
using the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
methodology1. This EPD is based on a LCA
performed by BCS-ES and Quantis, and reviewed
by a panel of three experts covering LCA, textile
technology and mosquito net use.
LCA is an internationally recognised approach
that evaluates the potential environmental and
human health impact associated with products
and services throughout their life cycle, from raw
material extraction and including transportation,
production, use, and end-of-life treatment.
Among other uses, LCA can identify opportunities
to improve the environmental performance of
products at various stages in their life cycle,
inform decision-making, and support marketing
and communication efforts. This methodology
is defined by the International Organisation for
Standardisation (ISO) 14040-14044 standards.
Functional Unit
In order for a comparison between different
products to be valid, the function fulfilled by the
product has to be clearly defined. This is called
the ‘Functional Unit’ within the terminology of the
LCA system. The Functional Unit (FU) quantifies
the service delivered by the product system,
providing a reference to which the impacts
presented in this EPD are related.
In the comparative LCA for LifeNet the Functional
Unit (FU) was defined as:
“ offering the efficient protection of persons against
malaria with a Long-Lasting mosquito net during a
period of time encompassing 30 washes”.
In the study, the effectiveness of the LLIN is only
considered in the context of the persistence of
insecticide - based on World Health Organisation
Pesticide Evaluation Scheme (WHOPES) evaluation.

ASSESSING thE ENvIroNmENtAL ProfILE
Assessing the Environmental Profile
Description of the methodology
The peer reviewed and internationally recognised
Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCA) methodology
IMPACT 2002+ v2.09† (Jolliet et al. 2003 modified
by Humbert et al. 2011) has been applied to
assess the environmental impacts of LifeNet.
In addition to provide results for sixteen impact
categories (midpoint), IMPACT 2002+ allows their
aggregation into five classes of damage.
The aggregation of the midpoint indicators into
five damage categories provide results easier to
understand and interpret for the uninitiated to LCA, but
also provide a rapid assessment of key environmental
issues associated with the system under study.
Damage categories may be summarised as follows.
Aquatic ecotoxicity (USEtox)Terrestrial ecotoxicity
AcidificationEutrophication
Terrestrial acid/nitriLand occupationWater (turbined)
Midpoint categories Damage categories

For the human toxicity and the aquatic ecotoxicity, the USEtox (v1.01) model promoted by the UNEP/SETAC Life
Cycle Initiative is used. Given the fact that BCS-ES already performed a USEtox assessment of the deltamethrin,
using USEtox for this study was an opportunity to build on BCS-ES internal expertise on this method.

Main environmental characteristics
of LifeNet
The production phase of the net is the stage that
contributes the most in terms of environmental
impact for the 5 damage categories. The most
significant factor in this is the energy consumed
during the production processes.
While the usage phase would appear to be a
significant contributor to two categories (health
impact and water withdrawal) - due to respectively,
the production of detergent and water used during
the washing of the net; these contributions are low
compared to the production contribution.
The end-of-life contributes to the global warming
score due to the incineration (the scenario of open
air burning or conventional incineration).
Further details on the position of LifeNet compared
to other nets can be made available upon request.
The importance of the good practices
relating to washing
The registered product labels recommend that the
net’s wash-water (charged with active ingredient,
detergent and other dirt) be disposed of in a pit
latrine or directly into a hole in the soil. It specifies
that the water must be disposed of away from
ponds, rivers, streams, the house or animal
shelters. This washing and disposal practice
scenario is considered in this study.
However, given the fact that washing recommendations
may not always be respected, a pessimistic scenario
is modeled: 100% wash water discharged into the
river. This worst case increases the impact on
ecosystem quality by 80%, without any significant
increased impact on human health.
It reinforces the importance of communication
through the LLIN packaging and during the
distribution campaign to avoid unfavorable washing
practices of any insecticide treated net.

rEfErENCES AND GLoSSAry
• Climate change: This category is the potential
of each GHG calculated based on the model of
the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC
2007) in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent
(kg CO2 eq.) based on infrared radiative forcing.
The GHG potential effects are estimated over a
100 year time horizon.
• Ecosystem quality: This category includes
aquatic and terrestrial toxicity impacts,
acidification, eutrophication, terrestrial
acidification and nitrification, land use, and
water turbined. It is quantified as the fraction of
habitats that will potentially disappear (potentially
disappeared fraction – PDF) in a given area and
over a certain time period per kg of emitted
substance. (PDF*m²*year/kg).
• Human health: This category accounts for toxic
substances (carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic),
those that lead to respiratory problems, those
that generate ionizing radiation and those that
deplete the ozone layer. To assess the damage
factor, the gravity of the illnesses is expressed
in DALY (disability-adjusted life years), which
reflects human health damages.
• Water withdrawal: This is an indicator of
inventory and not impact. It is the sum of all
volumes of water used during the process,
with the exception of water used in turbines (for
hydropower production).
• Resource consumption: This category accounts
for non-renewable resource use and minerals
extraction, quantified in mega joules of primary
energy (primary MJ). Resources impact is the sum
of the midpoint categories “non-renewable energy
consumption” and “mineral extraction”.

Allocation rules
To avoid allocation, a system expansion approach
is applied, expanding the product system to
include the additional functions related to the
co-products. For example, in this study, parts of
nets are recycled. Plastic recycling represents
typical multi-functional processes that have to
be addressed according to the allocation rules
proposed by the ISO 14044 standard. Therefore we
take into account the environmental burdens of the
recycling processes (in terms of material or energy),
as well as a credit for the avoided burdens when
substituting primary material or fuels.
For other foreground processes, we apply an
allocation rule based on physical property (mass).
For secondary data from the ecoinvent database,
standard ecoinvent allocation rules are used.
Cut-off rules
• A cut-off level of 1% was applied to mass and
primary energy: meaning that the process or
reference flow is neglected if it contributes less
than 1% of the total known mass or primary
energy, in general based on past experience,
proxy based short calculations, or expert
judgment. The process or reference flow is
not neglected when it implies substances
presenting known environmental impacts
(i.e. of environmental significance).
• All processes where sound data are
available are taken into account, even if their
contribution is less than 1%. This is in line with
the idea that the cut-off rule is used to avoid
gathering unknown data, but not to neglect
known data. Some processes were omitted
such as the plant building, the machines,
the computers, worker transport to/on the
production site, etc. These additional data
do not have an effect on the results and can
therefore be neglected from the analysis.
