This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of resistors over all types of resistors. There is no distinction between the different types of resisitors produced. Data for auxiliaries, energy, emissions and waste are taken from the Swedish LCI database, from two datasets of Swiss resistor producing companies and based on estimations from the resistor production. As the raw material input is taken into account in the respective resistor datasets this dataset has no input of raw materials. The production efforts represent not a specific resistor type and have thus, accordingly higher uncertainties.
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.
