| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA data for recycled aluminum ingots, it is critical to ensure the boundaries of the system are well-defined, particularly concerning the end-of-life treatment of products using this material. Take into account the allocation of impacts between recycling and primary production processes. Exclude the impacts from primary aluminum production when accounting for recycled content. The background data should be carefully considered as it is localized to the Chinese context from CAS RCEES 2018; differences in geographic and technological aspects could affect the applicability of the data for processes outside China. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The recycled aluminum ingots produced through this industrial process are primarily used for manufacturing various aluminum products including construction materials, automotive components, packaging such as cans and foils, and consumer electronics. The ingots serve as a secondary raw material, substituting for primary aluminum obtained from bauxite ore, reducing the environmental impact from mining and processing. |
