The activity generating the emissions is extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming, inline. The reference product is extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming, inline. This is delivering the service of extrusion of plastic sheets and thermoforming, inline. Extrusion describes the continuous manufacture of a semifinished plastic product (film, sheet, pipe, profile). An extrusion line consists of the following: 1. Extruder 2. Mold or die 3. Calibration and cooling 4. Takeoff 5. Finishing. Extrusion is combined with thermoforming. Thermoforming is the a purely stretching technique of manufacture of three-dimensional mouldings from flat plastic preforms such as films or sheets, under the influence of heat and pressure or vacuum. The range of products that can be manufactured by this process includes packaging containers, bulky moldings such as swimming pools, automobile components such as dashboards and passenger compartment panels. The preferred materials for processing include amorphous thermoplastics [PVC, polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene (ABS), styrene - acrylonitrile (SAN), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), PMMA, and PC], as well as semicrystalline materials (PP, PE,PETP) and special laminates. The dataset combines the services of extrusion and thermoforming refers of plastic sheets, inline. The inventory refers to an input of 1 kg of plastic pellets but the amount of plastic pellets processed is not included. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
