Description
This dataset represents the average production situation of passenger-car center consoles in China. The dataset considers the core production processes such as plastic pellet drying, injection moulding, trimming and inspection, as well as the raw and auxiliary material acquisition and input (modified plastics, etc.), energy supply, and direct emissions and process waste generation in the related auxiliary processes (such as waste treatment and equipment lubrication); it does not include product packaging, the manufacture of production equipment, and infrastructure construction such as plant buildings; the inventory has been supplemented and verified according to the principles of material balance and water balance. The data are mainly based on the publicly available production materials of multiple industry-representative enterprises, formed after weighted integration.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers core manufacturing processes such as plastic particle drying, injection molding, trimming and inspection, as well as energy-auxiliary processes such as related energy input, cooling water circulation, and waste treatment in the factory, excluding product packaging.
Process Description
A passenger-car center console is an interior trim component located between the front seats and arranged in a T-shape with the instrument panel; it houses controls such as the gear selector and parking brake.
