| Use advice for data set | When using this dataset for Life Cycle Assessment, please note that 1 tonne of WDC has been established as the functional unit. All input parameters including raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy consumption, transportation, and direct emissions should be calculated corresponding to this functional unit. The data is based on the inventory provided by Mianyang Building Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which must be considered for its regional specificity. The cut-off rule has been applied, thus low-value materials like fly ash weighing less than 1% of the final product can be excluded from the inventory. Always ensure that the use of this dataset is consistent with the methodological advice and is appropriate to the technological context of the study. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The non-sintered bricks produced using the pressing process are primarily used in the construction industry. These bricks, made with manufactured sand as an aggregate after WDC crushing pretreatment, are suitable for various building applications, including the construction of walls and pavements, where sintered bricks are traditionally used. |
