Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. Product information for this product is available within the datasets that produce it. The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product '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 cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Tallow - unrefined (Recycled Content cut-off)

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.
