The crushing process of discarded bricks during reuse When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is important to ensure that the functional unit is consistent with the calculated environmental benefits of the recycled materials, which is '1 tonne' of alternative material. Users should account for all phases of the lifecycle assessment as defined by BEPAS, including physicalisation, construction stage, use stage and demolition stage. The environmental impact characterization parameters should be sourced from professional bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Care should be taken to model the specific benefits and impacts of the use phase, and any methodological assumptions, like the inclusion or exclusion of recycling for material datasets, should be explicitly stated and justified.
