| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is important to ensure that the functional unit is consistent with the calculated environmental benefits of the recycled materials, which is '1 tonne' of alternative material. Users should account for all phases of the lifecycle assessment as defined by BEPAS, including physicalisation, construction stage, use stage and demolition stage. The environmental impact characterization parameters should be sourced from professional bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Care should be taken to model the specific benefits and impacts of the use phase, and any methodological assumptions, like the inclusion or exclusion of recycling for material datasets, should be explicitly stated and justified. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The recycled brick production process is designed to create brick aggregates for construction purposes. Brick aggregate produced by this system is used in various construction applications, including but not limited to, pavements, building foundations, and as a base layer for road construction. This production system utilizes construction solid waste, transforming it into valuable construction material, and is typically located at the outskirts of urban areas. |

| Functional Unit | Calculation of the environmental benefits of recycled materials is based on the production of "1 tonne" of alternative material as a functional unit. |
| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | The production line is a complete system of equipment for producing brick aggregate, which is invested and constructed by a professional construction solid waste management enterprise in a specific location, usually in the outskirts of the city. The stationary production line consists of equipment such as feeder, crusher, vibrating screen and control system. The control system includes a sorting system, a high-pressure washing system, a wastewater recycling system and a dust purification system. |
