| Use advice for data set | The data set represents a cradle to gate inventory. It can be used to characterise the supply chain situation of the respective commodity in a representative manner. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | This product can be used in construction. |

| Technology description including background system | Foreground system: This dataset describes dimpled sheet used for waterproofing of buildings. The LCA of the sheet includes the life cycle stages "cradle to gate". The system boundary is the finished product. Transports from the factory to the mounting location are not taken into account and have to be incorporated in a system approach. In module C1, a manual dismantling (no loads) is assumed, collecting losses are neglected. The transport in module C2 to the recycling plant takes place with a truck (50km). Module C3 takes into account the grinding and thermal treatment (combustion) of the material. When calculating combustion emissions and credits, the specific calorific value of each material and the material composition are taken into account. In module D credits for the substitution of electricity (German electricity mix) and thermal energy (from natural gas) are given. |
