Glass and glass products

Manufacture of glass and glass products

The activity generating the emissions is glass fibre production. The reference product is glass fibre. The product "glass fibre" is produced in recuperative or oxy-fuel fired furnaces. The inventory for the glass fibre is based on a literature study for the technologies used in the European glass industry. The energy use is the main environmental aspect. Glass fibres can be used in manifold ways. Therefore resins and different chemicals are necessary. In ecoinvent, there are two types of processing, hand lay-up moulding with polyester resin and injection moulding with polyamide. The unit process raw data are meant to be used as background information. For other types of moulded products the background data for glass fibre can be used to assess the environmental impacts if the amount of other chemicals and the process requirements are known. 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/8360/documentation.
