Clay brick - one brick - 215 x 65 x 102.5mm

Emission intensity of clay - Brick. Density needs to consider voids in the finished bricks. Average UK brick weighs 2.13 kg per brick (Source: The Brick Development Association). The source does not clarify if the kgCO2e value is calculated using either IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) or IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) methodologies.

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.

Pottery/ceramics and plumbing fixture manufacturing

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. 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 cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Sanitary ceramics (market for sanitary ceramics)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. 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 cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Sanitary ceramics (sanitary ceramics production)

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: ceramic goods. Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.8.2 model outputs for products. These factors were calculated based on 2019 data. CO2 equivalent factors incorporate emissions from land use; constituent gases have not been included as they do not. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
