Emission factor summary

The activity generating the emissions is cast iron milling, small parts. The Reference Product is cast iron removed by milling, small parts. This is delivering the service of cast iron removed by milling, small parts. Milling is a chipping process where the piece of the material is fixed to a movable table while the cutting energy is provided by the rotating cutting tool. It is used for complex shaping and it can be applied to metals, wood and plastic materials. This dataset represents the milling of 1kg of cast iron in small parts. The service includes materials input, production infrastructure, energy consumption, water consumption and materials end-of-life. Degreasing is not included and has to be added if necessary. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity.
