Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product 'polystyrene foam slab' 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: engineering resin blends with polyphenylene oxide for the automotive industry electrical appliances and electronics.  The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of the supply chain per Canadian dollar spent on: basic organic chemicals. Retrieved from the OpenIO-Canada v2.9 model which is a Canadian Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model. The emission factor is provided in purchaser price including taxes retail margins and distribution costs. Endogenization is not included meaning the emission factor does not account for capital goods.

Basic organic chemicals

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. 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.
