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 'iron scrap, sorted, pressed', in the geography of Europe. This is a constrained market for consequential system model, for attributional system models, this is a regular market. In the case of consequential system model, details about the marginal consumer can be found in the comment of the conditional exchange (by-product). This market activity represents the transport requirements of 1 kg of 'iron scrap, sorted, pressed' from sorting to recycling activities within the geography of Europe. This is a constrained market. The justification for a market constraint is included in the comment field of the conditional exchange. A regional market for Europe [RER] is motivated by the low share (in the range of 5.6%-7.3% of total trade quantities between 2010-2016) of import quantities to EU28 from outside (excluding Norway and Switzerland) the Union. In addition, the export quantities exceeded the import quantities (the ratio export/import was in the range of 7.04-10.27 in the same period).

[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 tinplate scrap, sorted to generic market for iron scrap, sorted, pressed (CH, Europe without Switzerland): According to Haupt (2018), when tinplate is exported from Switzerland, it mostly enters the recycling without prior detinning. Since the process for de-tinning in Switzerland was unavailable for confidentiality reasons, it was assumed that the full amount of tin plate in Europe gets recycled without prior detinning. This renaming activity therefore converts 'tinplate scrap, sorted' into 'iron scrap, sorted, pressed'.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dib.2018.05.067 generalComment of treatment of metal scrap, mixed, for recycling, unsorted, sorting (Europe without Switzerland): This activity represents the treatment of mixed metal scrap from separate collection, i.e. a source-segregated municipal solid waste fraction, through sorting for recycling. Sorting of waste tinplate, ferrous metal, and aluminium from residues and from each other, yielding individual material fractions for ferrous scrap and aluminium. generalComment of treatment of metal scrap, mixed, for recycling, unsorted, sorting (CH): This activity represents the treatment of mixed metal scrap from separate collection, i.e. a source-segregated municipal solid waste fraction, through sorting for recycling.
