Key Data Set Information
Location CN
Reference year 2017
Name
Corrugated carton production ; corrugated cardboard ; cutting, printing, packaging
Use advice for data set When using this data set for Life Cycle Assessment, it is important to account for the entire life cycle of the corrugated carton including raw material acquisition (such as paper), production processes (cutting, printing, and packaging), distribution, usage, and end-of-life scenarios (recycling or disposal). Specific attention should be given to the recovery rates and recycling efficiencies if the corrugated cartons are part of a recycling program. The geographical and technological scope of the data should be considered to ensure representativeness for the intended study area. Assumptions and limitations associated with the dataset should be clearly understood and documented in the study.
Technical purpose of product or process This data set pertains to the manufacturing process of corrugated cartons, which involves the production of corrugated cardboard through cutting, printing, and packaging operations. These cartons are typically used for the packaging and transportation of goods due to their light weight, durability, and customizability. They serve a wide range of applications across various industries including electronics, food, and consumer products.
