Hello!
I would like to use the World Steel dataset for steel wire rod, which does not itself contain any scrap steel. However, my client has a certificate showing that their purchased steel contains up to 80% recycled steel. What would be the most sound methodological approach for taking this into account in the impact of the end product?
Hi Christof,
I would suggest the ecoinvent datapoint: steel, electric. An example of what this looks like would be “Steel production, electric, low-alloyed (Reference product: steel, low-alloyed)”
The non-recycled datapoint is called under steel, converter.
There will be a few options for each depending on the alloy content so please select what is appropriate in that case.
Hope this helps!
