Comment: This dataset is based on two sources: the European Aluminium Association 2005 LCI data (EAA, 2008); and (2) the ecoinvent v2.2 dataset for the same activity (Althaus, 2009), itself largely based on EAA data from 2000. Priority was given to data contained in EAA (2008); Althaus (2009) was used only in cases where it was found to be more complete that EAA (2008). While this dataset represents the refining of prepared post-consumer scrap aluminium, the inputs and outputs reported by EAA (2008) actually refer to refining of all scrap, including post-consumer scrap, scrap from foundries, turnings, skimmings (dross) and aluminium metallics. In the ecoinvent database, the refining of post-consumer scrap and new scrap is represented by two distinct but mostly identical datasets to enable the appropriate modeling of aluminium mass flow through the economy. The dataset contains the inputs and outputs for rotary (64%) and reverbatory (36%) furnaces, which together make up about 90% of utilized furnaces in Europe. The dataset excludes, for lack of access to data, salt slag and dross recycling. According to EAA, this data gap represents approximately 10-20% of potential impacts, as calculated using the CML 2001 method.
