Construction and demolition waste: Concrete / bricks / tiles and ceramics - End of life without recycling

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 (sanitary ceramics production)

Emission intensity of sanitary ceramic. The lifecycle assessment for modules A1-A3 includes: the extraction and processing of raw materials (A1) their transportation to the manufacturer (A2) and the actual manufacturing of the product (A3). Retrieved from the Oekobaudat database v20.19.120.

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. They include emissions from land-use. The split into constituent gases is not provided as the source does not provide a split of gases. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
