The activity generating the emissions is market for waste wire plastic. The Reference Product is waste wire plastic. Waste wire plastic is a solid waste under the category of construction and demolition wastes. It can be sourced in many and various ways and therefore it can belong in the following waste categories: industrial. It is primarily generated in construction of wind turbines connection network and in the collection process of end-of-life waste electric wiring for final disposal. waste wire plastic contain the following fractions: 100% waste wiring plastic. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),waste wire plastic has 3.55% water on wet mass basis (96.45% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (54.95% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 26.81 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: thermal (municipal incineration). 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 market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/18153/documentation

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 treat it. The cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is -1.
