This dataset represents the production of 1 unit of a standard black toner cartridge. It is based the original production (OEM) of an average toner cartridge with a capacity of 5'000 prints A4 and a coverage of 5%, specifically a HP C4096A for HP2100 printers, a weight of 880 g plus 260 toner contained. Main data are based on a study on a HP 96A cartridge vs. its remanufac-tured counterpart, a detailed EPD for a remanufactured cartridge and a more recent overview on remanufactured HP cartridges.
[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
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.
