The activity generating the emissions is inert material landfill construction. The reference product is inert material landfill. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of an inert material landfill. The infrastructure represents a landfill for inert, insoluble, largely unpolluted, mostly mineral wastes like bricks, concrete, excavation material with carbon content below 5%. It has a  450,000 m3 volume, with an average waste density of 1,500 kg/m3, 1 year construction phase, 10 years use phase and 5 years aftercare phase. The process includes building materials for the construction, operation, aftercare and access road construction. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/4212/documentation.

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: commercial and institutional building construction. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.2.

Commercial and institutional building construction

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: commercial and institutional building construction. This factor is representative of the described goods or services category as defined by the 2017 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: construction work. 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.
