Use advice for data set When using this LCA data set for PVC produced by the calcium carbide method, ensure to account for the methodological differences between data sourced from China and Europe. Be attentive to the fact that electricity input is modeled based on China's national grid structure of 2020. If the data set cannot fulfill regional specific conditions, it might be less accurate. The ReCiPe method (Europe H/H) should be employed for impact assessment, ensuring methodological consistency. Consider 1 kg of resin production as the functional unit for your assessments.

Data set use approval
