Comment: This is a market activity. Each market represents the consumption mix of a product in a given geography, connecting suppliers with consumers of the same product in the same geographical area. Markets group the producers and also the imports of the product (if relevant) within the same geographical area. They also account for transport to the consumer and for the losses during that process, when relevant. This is the market for 'polystyrene, extruded', in the Global geography. In this market, expert judgement was used to develop product specific transport distance estimations. 'polystyrene, extruded', is a plastic product of fossil origin, it is not biodegradable and it is a thermoplastic material. This product consists of 100% virgin material with no content of recycled material. The product is used in the following applications and sectors: used to form plates, sheet, or foam boards. In a secondary process step extruded sheet can be thermoformed, for example into disposables such as trays and containers. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: polystyrene production, extruded, CO2 blown, CA-QC: 0.00222142857142857 polystyrene production, extruded, CO2 blown, RER: 0.111111111111111 polystyrene production, extruded, HFC-134a blown, CA-QC: 0.00111071428571429 polystyrene production, extruded, HFC-134a blown, RER: 0.0555555555555556 polystyrene production, extruded, HFC-152a blown, RER: 0.0555555555555556 polystyrene production, extruded, CO2 blown, RoW: 0.38666746031746 polystyrene production, extruded, HFC-134a blown, RoW: 0.19333373015873 polystyrene production, extruded, HFC-152a blown, RoW: 0.194444444444444 generalComment of polystyrene production, extruded, CO2 blown (RER, RoW): This dataset can be used in the construction building sector. The cutting of the extruded polystyrene blocks is not included in the process. Blowing agent is CO2 (50.7% w/w). Co-blowing agent ist aceton (49.3% w/w). Process emissions are 25% (w/w) for aceton. [This dataset was already contained in the ecoinvent database version 2. It was not individually updated during the transfer to ecoinvent version 3. Life Cycle Impact Assessment results may still have changed, as they are affected by changes in the supply chain, i.e. in other datasets. This dataset was generated following the ecoinvent quality guidelines for version 2. It may have been subject to central changes described in the ecoinvent version 3 change report (http://www.ecoinvent.org/database/ecoinvent-version-3/reports-of-changes/), and the results of the central updates were reviewed extensively. The changes added e.g. consistent water flows and other information throughout the database. The documentation of this dataset can be found in the ecoinvent reports of version 2, which are still available via the ecoinvent website. The change report linked above covers all central changes that were made during the conversion process.] generalComment of polystyrene production, extruded, CO2 blown (CA-QC): This dataset can be used in the construction building sector.
