Use advice for data set Users leveraging this data set should note that recycling or treatment of plastic and metal shells is excluded from this analysis, as are labor costs, factory construction costs, and their environmental impact. This data is specific to conditions in China and may not represent the process in other countries. Users should consider time relevance as data represents an average from 2013-2017, and adjust for changes in technology or processes that have occurred since then. Stakeholders should integrate this data with information from LIB manufacturers, recyclers, and official Chinese agencies to ensure a comprehensive assessment. When applying this data, it is important to adhere to the methodological advice that encapsulates 'cradle to grave' processes. |
