This dataset represents the activity of waste disposal of waste polyethylene terephtalate in a unsanitary landfill. Recommended use of this dataset: For PET, which goes to disposal as part of managed communal waste mixture. Larger amounts of clean, *already separated* PET could go to recycling, depending on country-specific situation. // Waste composition (wet, in ppm): upper heating value 23.13 MJ/kg; lower heating value 22.95 MJ/kg; H2O 2000; O 368750; H 63380; C 553640; S 147.87; N 6456.8; P n.a.; B n.a.; Cl 788.62; Br 69.004; F 11.829; I n.a.; Ag n.a.; As 1.873; Ba 49.289; Cd 3.2531; Co 31.052; Cr 5.4218; Cu 11.829; Hg 0.08872; Mn 17.744; Mo n.a.; Ni 3.9431; Pb 5.5203; Sb 159.2; Se 2.0701; Sn 0.98577; V 1281.5; Zn 68.676; Be 0.49289; Sc n.a.; Sr 87.241; Ti 985.77; Tl 0.39431; W n.a.; Si n.a.; Fe 98.577; Ca 295.73; Al 197.15; K n.a.; Mg n.a.; Na 1444.7; . // Share of carbon in waste that is biogenic 0%.

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.
