Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. This dataset represents the average resource consumption and environmental emissions of artificial stone production in China, with its data obtained by weighted merging of the production datasets of agglomerated stone, quartz stone and solid surface material, and the merging weights are mainly derived from industry research reports.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers core manufacturing processes such as ingredients, mixing, cloth, demoulding, curing, pressing, cutting, grinding and polishing, and painting, as well as related auxiliary processes such as waste treatment, excluding product packaging.
Process Description
Artificial stone is a composite material made by using high molecular polymer, cement, or a mixture of both as a binder, and natural stone chips (powder) and/or natural quartz stone (sand, powder) or aluminum hydroxide powder as the main raw materials, with pigments and other additives added, through processes such as mixing, curing, and solidification. It mainly includes artificial stone solid surface, artificial quartz stone, and artificial granite. According to the type of binder, it can be further classified into artificial organic quartz stone, artificial inorganic quartz stone, artificial organic granite, artificial inorganic granite, etc.
