| Use advice for data set | When using the data set for the non-fired brick production process, ensure to account for all inputs and outputs associated with 1 ton of WDC as the functional unit. Apply the cut-off rule for low-value materials from upstream processes, such as fly ash, which allows omitting substances amounting to less than 1% of the final product's weight from the inventory as per Zhao et al., 2020. Always refer to methodological guidelines for life cycle assessments to maintain consistency and accuracy in the analysis. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The non-sintered bricks produced using the curing process are commonly applied in the construction industry as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fired bricks. These bricks are suitable for a variety of building structures including residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. |

| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | Involves the preparation of non-fired bricks by adding an appropriate amount of aggregate (i.e., manufactured sand) after the WDC crushing pretreatment. The entire production process includes mixing (time of 2 min), pressing (pressure of 3 MPa; dimension of 240 × 115 × 53 mm), and maintenance steps |
