Use advice for data set
The LCA data for recycled aluminum ingots should account for the specific energy sources and processes used during recycling. Users of this dataset should ensure that they apply the data appropriately to the geographical context, as the environmental impact can vary significantly depending on the region's energy mix and recycling technology. It is important to use the exact year of data (2013 in this case) to capture the technological relevance. The technological applicability and the quality of the ingots may differ based on the scrap source and the recycling process; thus, users must consider the suitability of these data for their specific end-use applications.

General comment
The recycled aluminum ingots are utilized in various industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging. These ingots are produced from scrap aluminum through a recycling process. The data set represents how aluminum recycling decreases the need for primary aluminum, therefore reducing the environmental impact associated with bauxite mining, alumina refining, and primary aluminum production. The material can be used in applications where the physical and mechanical properties of primary aluminum are not strictly required or where cost-effectiveness is a priority.
