The activity generating the emissions is market for waste polyethylene terephthalate. The reference product is waste polyethylene terephthalate. Waste polyethylene terephthalate is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It can be sourced in many and various ways and therefore it can belong in all waste categories (commercial and institutional, industrial and construction and demolition). It is primarily generated in ventilation systems, textiles, primary zinc  production and purification of used vegetable cooking oil.  waste polyethylene terephthalate contain the following fractions: 100% waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By the database default (and per unit of reference product),waste polyethylene terephthalate has 0.2% water on wet mass basis (99.8% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (55.41% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 23.13 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, treatment option/s for this by-product include: deposition (sanitary landfill, unsanitary landfill), thermal (municipal incineration), uncontrolled forms of disposal (open dump, open burning). Based on the aforementioned treatments, this by-product receives, it is a non-hazardous waste.   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 Waste. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/17910/documentation.

It is primarily generated in ventilation systems, textiles, primary zinc  production and purification of used vegetable cooking oil.  waste polyethylene terephthalate contain the following fractions: 100% waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By the database default (and per unit of reference product),waste polyethylene terephthalate has 0.2% water on wet mass basis (99.8% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (55.41% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 23.13 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, treatment option/s for this by-product include: deposition (sanitary landfill, unsanitary landfill), thermal (municipal incineration), uncontrolled forms of disposal (open dump, open burning). Based on the aforementioned treatments, this by-product receives, it is a non-hazardous waste.   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 Waste. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/17773/documentation.
