The activity generating the emissions is tallow, unrefined, Recycled Content cut-off. The Reference Product is tallow, unrefined. Tallow, unrefined is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in slaughterhouse activities. tallow, unrefined contain the following fractions: 100% tallow. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),tallow, unrefined has 2.5% water on wet mass basis (97.5% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only non-fossil origin (75% on a dry matter basis). It has a lower heating value of 22.1 MJ/kg . This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated from ordinary transforming activities, and as such can be considered for modelling waste outputs of comparable composition. In the ecoinvent database, this by-product is used in the following processes: esterification of vegetable oils and animal fats, average mix; stearic acid production; treatment of tallow to esterquat. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity, users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/26026/documentation
