Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'polycarbonate' is a plastic product of fossil origin it is not biodegradable and it is a thermoplastic material. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: alternative for glass for applications (eyewear bulletproof glass) building and construction sector (e.g. improving insulation and lightning) electrical and electronics (e.g. large flat screens and monitors Digital Disks consumer electronics equipment and fuse boxes as well as the large market of optical data storage) automotive industry (e.g. mirror and headlamp houses) domestic appliances packaging 3D printed models medical devices as well as leisure and safety (e.g. goggles helmet).  The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Polycarbonate', is a plastic product of fossil origin, it is not biodegradable and it is a thermoplastic material. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: alternative for glass for applications (eyewear, bulletproof glass) building and construction sector (e.g., improving insulation and lightning), electrical and electronics (e.g., large flat screens and monitors, Digital Disks, consumer electronics equipment and fuse boxes as well as the large market of optical data storage), automotive industry (e.g., mirror and headlamp houses), domestic appliances, packaging, 3D printed models, medical devices as well as leisure and safety (e.g., goggles, helmet).
 The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of supply chain (purchase of service/standard good/capital good) in US dollars spend on: chemicals and chemical products. Factors retrieved from the Quantis+GHG Protocol Scope 3 Calculator for the year 2016 and apply for years beyond 2016. The same emission factor applies to different types of investments in joint ventures/subsidiaries/associate companies that were not captured in Scope 1 emissions.

Chemicals and chemical products

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). 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

Chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds)

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). 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 in EUR spend on: chemicals (not specified in other EXIOBASE emission factors). 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.
