Emission factor summary

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.8. The product "explosive, tovex" represents an approximation of the types of explosives used in mining (as their exact composition can change quickly). The basic materials are poured by gravity in a mixer. When filled with 1'500kg the mixing procedure starts and lasts about 15min. To keep it warm it's filled in a hot basin from where it is put in sausages by a cartridging machine and then packed in card board boxes. A conveyor belt transports the boxes and puts it on paletts for storing. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
