Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is delivering the service of 'thermoforming of plastic sheets'. Thermoforming is the a purely stretching technique of manufacture of three-dimensional mouldings from flat plastic preforms such as films or sheets under the influence of heat and pressure or vacuum. The range of products that can be manufactured by this process includes packaging containers bulky moldings such as swimming pools  automobile components such as dashboards and passenger compartment panels. The preferred materials for processing include amorphous thermoplastics [PVC polystyrene (PS) acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene (ABS) styrene - acrylonitrile (SAN) cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) PMMA and PC] as well as semicrystalline materials (PP PE PETP) and special laminates. This service activity represents thermoforming of plastic sheets of 200 microns to 2 mm thickness in plastic packaging for the food industry. The activity refers to an input of 1 kg of plastic sheets but the amount of plastic processed is not included. Thus this service should be used along with 1 kg of suitable material. The preferred materials for processing include amorphous thermoplastics [PVC polystyrene (PS) acrylonitrile - butadiene - styrene (ABS) styrene - acrylonitrile (SAN) cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) PMMA and PC] as well as semicrystalline materials (PP PE PETP) and special laminates that economically combine the favorable properties of several polymers in one film. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.

Emission intensity of supply chain (purchase of service/standard good/capital good) in US dollars spend on: chemicals and chemical products. Factors retrieved from the Quantis+GHG Protocol Scope 3 Calculator for the year 2016 and apply for years beyond 2016. The same emission factor applies to different types of investments in joint ventures/subsidiaries/associate companies that were not captured in Scope 1 emissions.

Chemicals and chemical products

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model v1.0.1. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment. Retrieved from Supply Chain Factors Dataset v1.1.1

Chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds)

Emission intensity of supply chain (with margins i.e. cradle to shelf) in US dollars spend on: chemicals (except basic chemicals/agrichemicals/polymers/paints/pharmaceuticals/soaps/cleaning compounds). This factor is representative of the described commodity (equivalent to a goods or services category) and was obtained from the USEEIO model. Refer to the source for the source-specific data quality assessment.

Emission intensity of supply chain in EUR spend on: chemicals (not specified in other EXIOBASE emission factors). Retrieved from the EXIOBASE v3.8.2 model outputs for products. These factors were calculated based on 2019 data. CO2 equivalent factors incorporate emissions from land use; constituent gases have not been included as they do not. The LCA boundaries of these factors are not defined by the source. These factors include effects of international trade.
