Aluminum Recycling ; Recycled Aluminum Ingots ; Scrap Aluminum ; 2015
Use advice for data set When using this LCA data, ensure accurate allocation of impacts for the recycled content and consider the end-of-life phase for the aluminum products. Exclude primary aluminum impacts where applicable. Pay attention to the regional context, as the dataset is specific to Chinese production and recycling conditions outlined by CAS RCEES 2018. Update the dataset with more recent data if available, especially when using it for comparative studies or policy-making decisions to reflect current technological advancements and environmental regulations.
Technical purpose of product or process Recycled aluminum ingots produced from this process are primarily used in metallurgy and manufacturing industries. These ingots serve as a raw material for products where aluminum's light weight and corrosion resistance are valued, such as in the construction of vehicles, packaging materials, and in the production of aluminum-based components.

Data selection and combination principles The data in this study refers to the LCA data of PA, SA, electricity, and other background data. The PA data were obtained from statistical data sources, and the SA data were mainly obtained from the literatures. The background data were mainly derived from the Chinese localization LCA database CAS RCEES 2018, which was established by the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences and covers LCA data for energy, materials, transportation, waste management etc.
