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 'glass fibre', in the Global geography. Transport from producers to consumers of this product in the geography covered by the market is included. The product "glass fibre" is produced in recuperative or oxy-fuel fired furnaces. The inventory for the glass fibre is based on a literature study for the technologies used in the European glass industry. The energy use is the main environmental aspect. Glass fibres can be used in manifold ways. Therefore resins and different chemicals are necessary. In ecoinvent, there are two types of processing, hand lay-up moulding with polyester resin and injection moulding with polyamide. The unit process raw data are meant to be used as background information. For other types of moulded products the background data for glass fibre can be used to assess the environmental impacts if the amount of other chemicals and the process requirements are known. This market is supplied by the following activities with the given share: glass fibre production, RER: 0.330592351639303 glass fibre production, RoW: 0.669407648360697 generalComment of glass fibre production (RER, RoW): Inventory based on a state of the art report for the European glass manufacturing industry. Data had to be estimated from ranges given for different parameters. [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.]
