| Use advice for data set | Users of this LCA data should take into account that the data provided is specific to the year 2012 and applies to the geographical context of China. Methodological considerations should include the specific recycling processes involved in producing the recycled aluminum ingots, as these can influence the environmental impact assessment. When integrating this data into broader assessments or comparing with other datasets, users must ensure temporal, geographical, and technological consistency. Recycling and end-of-life scenarios for aluminum products should be considered in the context of technology applicability when using this dataset. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The recycled aluminum ingots, derived from scrap aluminum, are intended for use in applications where primary aluminum would traditionally be used. Examples include construction materials, automotive parts, electronics, packaging, and household items. This recycled material contributes to sustainability in manufacturing processes by reducing the demand for virgin aluminum, which involves high energy consumption and associated emissions during production. |
