Description
This dataset represents the disposal portfolio (technology portfolio) of "waste plastic, recycled". Recommended use for this dataset: For mixing plastic waste. Not suitable for representing any single specific waste plastic such as EPS, LDPE, HDPE, PE, PET, PP.
Activity Description
This dataset represents the disposal combination (technical combination) for "Treatment of waste plastic, recycling". It includes the consumption of energy and materials input during the disposal process, the generation of waste, as well as the discharge of waste gas and wastewater.
Process Description
Plastics are a class of high-molecular organic compounds, a general term for thermoplastic molding materials processed through filling, plasticizing, coloring and other processes, and belong to a family of high-molecular organic polymers. Common plastic materials mainly include: expandable polystyrene (EPS), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyethylene (PE), polyesters (PET) and polypropylene (PP), etc.
