Information: 'aluminium scrap, new' is a solid waste under the category of industrial wastes. It can be sourced in many and various ways and therefore it can belong in the following waste categories: construction and demolition. It is primarily generated in aluminium industry or in construction activities.'aluminium scrap, new' contain the following fractions: 100% aluminium without impurities. By the database default (and per unit of reference product),'aluminium scrap, new' has 0% water on wet mass basis (100% dry matter) and it has no Carbon content. It has no heating value.This kind of by-product (recyclable or waste) is generated from ordinary transforming activities, and as such can be considered for modelling waste outputs of comparable composition. In the ecoinvent database, this by-product is used in the following processes: aluminium alloy production, AlLi; aluminium alloy production, Metallic Matrix Composite; aluminium production, primary, cast alloy slab from continuous casting; treatment of aluminium scrap, new, at refiner; treatment of aluminium scrap, new, at remelter. This by-product can be modelled on two levels: treatment activity and market activity. The former one refers to the specific technology treating the by-product while the latter level represents a mix of treatments. Users are encouraged to inspect the modelling assumptions of the treatment activities and when selecting the market to additionally inspect the treatment mix. Collection and transportation of this by-product is accounted in the respective market activity, users are advised to inspect and modify the average transportation distances for a case specific modelling.
Classification: Recyclable
