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 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 'average incineration residue' is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process. 'average incineration residue' contain the following fractions: 100% average residual materials from MSWI. By the database default (and per unit of reference product) 'average incineration residue' has 0% water on wet mass basis (100% dry matter) and Carbon present is of both fossil (3.25% on a dry matter basis) and non-fossil origin (5.11% on a dry matter basis). It has no heating value. 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 (residual material landfill). Based on the aforementioned treatments this by-product receives it is a 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 cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is -1.
