Reference product: waste glass [kg]
Location: GLO - Global
This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste glass in uncontrolled, open burning. Recommended use of this dataset: For disposal of glass which goes to incineration as part of a larger item or in small amounts only, as part of unmanaged communal waste mixture eg. packaging glass. Larger *already separated* amounts of glass fractions will not be disposed in incinerators, but rather go to recycling or landfill, depending on the country-specific situation.Waste composition (wet, in ppm): upper heating value 0.1423 MJ/kg; lower heating value 0.04602 MJ/kg; H2O 20000; O 483070; H n.a.; C n.a.; S n.a.; N n.a.; P n.a.; B n.a.; Cl 195.89; Br n.a.; F n.a.; I n.a.; Ag n.a.; As n.a.; Ba n.a.; Cd n.a.; Co n.a.; Cr 303.63; Cu 7.8356; Hg n.a.; Mn n.a.; Mo n.a.; Ni n.a.; Pb 38.688; Sb n.a.; Se n.a.; Sn n.a.; V n.a.; Zn 3.9178; Be n.a.; Sc n.a.; Sr n.a.; Ti n.a.; Tl n.a.; W n.a.; Si 359090; Fe n.a.; Ca 72818; Al n.a.; K n.a.; Mg n.a.; Na 64472; . Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 60.4%. // Recycling rates for metallic iron = 0% for metallic aluminium = 0% for metallic copper = 0% . A mass of 0.958kg residues are left on ground.
[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.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]
