Use advice for data set
When utilizing this data set for LCA, ensure that inclusion or exclusion of recycling is consistent with the goal and scope of the study. When modelling the use phase behavior, particular attention should be paid to the actual end-life recycling rates and processes. The data from the Aluminum Association should be used for secondary production modeling. For accuracy, adjustments should be made to reflect higher salt inputs in the recycling process as indicated by the sources. It is also essential to consider the methodological differences due to the variety of collection, processing, and refining methods in secondary production when comparing with primary aluminum production data.
Data set use approval
General comment
Recycled aluminum from this process is used in various industries where secondary aluminum is acceptable, such as automotive, packaging, construction, and consumer electronics. The material can serve as an input for the production of aluminum alloys, casting, and extrusion products. Recycled aluminum is particularly valued for its lower environmental impact compared to primary aluminum production.
