Ceramic goods

Manufacture of ceramic goods

The activity generating the emissions is alumina saggar production. The reference product is alumina saggar. The product alumina saggar represents refractory container made primarily from alumina (aluminium oxide, Al2O3). It can be used in high-temperature applications, particularly in the ceramics and glass industries, for firing materials that require a clean and controlled environment. Saggars protect the materials being fired from direct contact with flames, gases, and other contaminants present in kilns and furnaces.  The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/94220/documentation.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: pottery/ceramics and plumbing fixture manufacturing. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.2.

The activity generating the emissions is market for sanitary ceramics. The reference product is sanitary ceramics. The product "sanitary ceramics" represents ceramic products for the bathroom. Sanitary ceramics are clay-based and are made from a single clay or one or more clays mixed with mineral modifiers such as quartz and feldspar. The types of commercial clays used for ceramics are primarily kaolin and ball clay. Composition of ceramics might differ from case to case. This product refers to oxidic ceramics. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/138/documentation.
