| Use advice for data set | When using the 2016 calibrated process data for the environmental impact assessment of mechanical recycling of waste PVC, ensure that the system boundaries are correctly defined to include upstream processes (such as collection and transportation of waste PVC) and downstream processes (such as manufacturing with the recycled material). Attention should be given to the dataset quality, which should represent the actual process conditions of ZEDA in Tianjin, China. Data users should also consider the methodological consistency with other life cycle data used in the assessment and include necessary adjustments for technology developments or changes in processing efficiency since 2016. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Mechanically recycled polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from the waste PVC recycling process is typically utilized in the manufacturing of various plastic products, where the purity and properties of the recycled PVC meet the requirements. These applications include construction materials, such as piping and window frames, as well as consumer goods, such as packaging and automotive parts. |
