Use advice for data set
Users of this LCA data should focus only on the processes that directly contribute to pure milk production, specifically considering the inputs of energy and materials as well as the associated carbon emissions. Allocated system boundaries simplify the life cycle into raw milk production, dairy product processing, product transportation, and packaging waste disposal. Users must employ recycling for pre-treatment of packaging waste, refrain from incineration due to low heating values of aluminum-plastic composites, and consider landfill disposal as the final step, referencing carbon emission data from established inventories such as Cherubini et al. (2009). Methodologically, this study simplifies the life cycle impact assessment process and should be factored in when interpreting LCA results.

General comment
Recycling is selected for the packaging waste pre-treatment. Because of the separation technique for aluminum-plastic composites usually with a lower heating value, these containers are not suitable for incineration

Technical purpose
This local branded pure milk production and packaging disposal process is designed for the generation of dairy products, specifically pure liquid milk distributed primarily within the Chengdu city center. The process includes the life cycle stages of raw milk production, dairy product processing, product transportation, and packaging waste disposal, with an emphasis on sustainability and minimizing the carbon footprint associated with each stage. The packaging materials are composed of aluminum-plastic composites, which are not designed for incineration due to low heating value and are instead directed towards recycling and final disposal in landfills.
