The system boundary begins when raw materials enter the factory gate.
Included activities ends
The system boundary reaches the end of the production and processing of ready-mixed mortar, excluding product packaging.
Description
This dataset represents the average resource consumption and environmental emissions of ready-mixed mortar production in China. The data are obtained by weighted aggregation of the production datasets of dry-mixed mortar and wet-mixed mortar (excluding downstream transport), with the aggregation weights mainly derived from industry research reports.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers core manufacturing processes such as material storage, sand baking, screening, mixing and blending, as well as related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment, excluding product packaging.
Process Description
Ready-mixed mortar is a mixture made of cementitious materials, fine aggregates, admixtures and other components determined by performance, measured and stirred in proportion in the factory, including dry-mixed mortar and wet-mixed mortar.
