Use advice for data set
When using the provided LCA data for the copper-based mixed waste recycling process, users should take into account the regional specificity of the data, as the typical case is based in Jiangxi Province, China. The data includes both foreground and background information and is evaluated using GaBi 9.0 software, along with LCA-ReCiPe 2016 methods for characterization and normalization. To ensure the accuracy of assessments or comparisons, users must apply the functional unit of 1000 kg of electrolytic copper, as assumed in this study. Adjustments should be made when applying datasets in different technological or geographical contexts.

General comment
The recycling process is employed in a metal recycling facility based in Jiangxi Province, China. It focuses on recovering copper from copper-based mixed waste materials. Black copper derived from the smelting process is used as the primary raw material. This process is vital for producing anode copper, intended for subsequent electrolytic refinement. The anode copper is mainly utilized in the electrical industry, especially in the production of high purity electrolytic copper for various electrical applications.
