This dataset models the direct disposal of wastewater from textile industry to a water body through a pipe. The wastewater receives no treatment prior to the disposal and the composition reflects this situation (composition prior to any type disposal). The dataset includes minor infrastructure (pipe grid) needed for the disposal.
Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
