Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product polyurethane rigid foam' is a plastic product of fossil origin it is not biodegradable and it is a mostly thermosets but thermoplastic PU also available material. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: thermal insulation bear mchanical loads appliances (refrigerators freezers) insulation boards (with and without facings) composite panels (mostly with metal facings) pipe insulation (as insulating shells or as composites) insulated containers and in situ foam (spray foam). 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 included meaning the emission factor also accounts for capital goods.
