Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: plastics. This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: plastics. This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model v1.0.1. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.1.1

Emission intensity of plastic - average - recycled. Retrieved from the file Base Carbone v23.9 published by ADEME. For detailed guidance on the application and interpretation of these emission factors please refer to the documentation provided by the source.

Process description: The melt extrusion-casting process produces the main product plastic film (polycarbonate). For this purpose, the process consumes hydrochloric acid and polycarbonate. Utilities consumed comprise cooling water, thermal energy, electricity, unspecific inorganic chemical, cement, and disposal of cement. Dataset type is technology-specific (extension layer). Allocation type is no allocation needed in this unit process. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is polymer. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
