Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is market for waste, from silicon wafer production, inorganic. The reference product is waste, from silicon wafer production, inorganic. Waste, from silicon wafer production, inorganic is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It is primarily generated in silicon wafer and photovoltaic cell production. waste, from silicon wafer production, inorganic contain the following fractions: 100% inorganic waste silicon wafer. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),waste, from silicon wafer production, inorganic has 9.4% water on wet mass basis (90.6% dry matter) and Carbon present is of only fossil origin (3.48% 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 reference product amount is -1. The cut-off classification is Waste. The activity type is ordinary market activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/29964/documentation.
