Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product slag is a by-product of the steelmaking process that is produced during the smelting process. Slags are principally composed of impurities in the charge and inert materials that are added in the beginning of the steelmaking process. Secondary metallurgy slags are typically recovered for use internally or externally (e.g. as an aggregate) although a portion may be landfilled or stockpilled. This represents high grade material that is sent for recovery. " The cut-off classification is Recyclable. The activity type is market activity. The reference product amount is 1.
