Name
Scrap Aluminum Extraction ; Scrap Aluminum ; Waste Polyethylene and Scrap Aluminum Mixture
Use advice for data set When using this data set, it is important to ensure that it represents the specific technology and region relevant to your study, in this case, Zhejiang Province, China. Users should be aware of any potential changes in the separation technology that could affect the consumption and emission factors. It is recommended to account for technological advances in the separation process when extrapolating data for future scenarios. Moreover, the inclusion of recycling in relevant categories should be consistent with the goal and scope of the LCA study.
Technical purpose of product or process The process described is used for the separation of polyethylene and aluminum from mixed waste materials. It is applied to recycle scrap aluminum and recover polyethylene from the waste polyethylene and scrap aluminum mixture. This recycled aluminum can then be used in various industries including packaging, construction, and automotive. The recovered polyethylene can be reprocessed into new plastic products.
