ecoinvent inventory for recycled paper

Contact person

ecoinvent Inventory on Recycled Papers As a user of the ecoinvent database, Carbotech is strongly interested in its further development and has always been involved in the creation of eco-inventories. As an added benefit to a paper eco-balance for the FOEN, we have provided ecoinvent with a new inventory for average, graphic recycled paper. This inventory is based on primary data from nine different producers of graphic recycled paper, which together cover about 10% of the European market. The inventory takes into account all the raw materials required, paper production including energy requirements and the resulting waste and emissions. The inventory is available as ecoinvent V2.2 + as a download and will soon be integrated into ecoinvent V3.0.
