Reference product: coffee maker [unit]
Location: GLO - Global
This activity represents the production and disposal of an average coffee maker which is approximately 1.9 kg in mass and has a rating of 640 W. It has the envisaged lifetime of 5 years and is manufactured in Asia. The figures on material inputs from technosphere and energy required to produce an average coffee maker are taken from Ashby 2009. The figure on the annual production volume (3400000 units) is calculated from Future Market Insights 2018. This figure represents the annual production forecast for 2026 and combines coffee makers produced for coffee shops (1000000 units) and for in-home consumption (2400000 units). Future Market Insights 2018 forecast a 6% growth throughout to 2026. This suggests that, in 2018, the annual production volume approximately equates to 3200000 units of coffee makers.
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
