This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste glass in a open dump. Recommended use of this dataset: For disposal of glass which goes to open burning 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 open burning, 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%.

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.
