Polyethylene (LLD) (made by consumption mix for polyethylene (LLD))

Process description: The consumption mix for polyethylene (LLD) is based on 83.35% regional production and 16.65% imports. Imports originate from: Saudi Arabia (14.13%), India (0.75%), China (0.51%), Republic of Korea (0.23%), United States (0.21%), and other countries (0.81%). Dataset type is consumption mix. Allocation type is In this dataset, no allocation has been performed, as the dataset represents a consumption mix consisting of various process technologies. The allocation procedure of the individual process technologies is reported in the individual technology-specific datasets of the respective processes. CAS RN is 25087-34-7. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document. FLAG emissions are set equal to direct land use change emissions as land management emissions are assumed to be negligible.
