Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is clinker production. The reference product is waste paint. Waste paint is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in a wide range of production and maintenance activities in many different sectors. waste paint contain the following fractions: 100% waste paint. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),waste paint has 0% water on wet mass basis (100% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (65% on a dry matter basis). It has a higher heating value of 10.86 MJ/kg and a lower heating value of 10.14 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 (inert material landfill, sanitary landfill), thermal (hazardous waste incineration, municipal incineration). Based on the aforementioned treatments this by-product receives, it can be both a hazardous and a non-hazardous waste. In addition, this by-product is used in the following processes: clinker production. 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 ordinary transforming activity.
