3.7. Cut-off rules
More
than
95%
of
the
inputs
and
outputs
of mass
and
energy
of
the
system
has
been included, excluding the following:
•
Diffuse
emissions
of
particles
into
the
atmosphere
produced
during
the
transportation and storage of powdered raw materials.
•
Channelled
atmospheric
contaminants
produced
during
the
combustion
phases
(spray-drying, drying and firing of tiles) not provided for by applicable legislation.
•
The process of recycling and reusing the waste produced during the life cycle of
the tiles due to the method used for allocating impacts.
•
The
production
of
industrial
machinery
and
equipment
due
to
the
difficulty
of
including
all
of
the
elements
involved
in
an
inventory,
and
also
because
the
LCA
community
considers
that
the
environmental
impact
per
product
unit
is
low
in
relation to the rest of the processes that are included.
Also, the databases used do
not include these processes, and so their inclusion would require an additional effort
beyond the scope of the study.
3.8.
Other data
Waste
from
the
ceramics
industry
is
included
as
“non-hazardous
waste”
in
the
European
Waste
Catalogue
under
EWC
code
101200:
“Waste
produced
by
the
manufacture
of
ceramic
products”
and
EWC
101229
“Waste
unspecified
in
other
categories” (Decision 2000/532/EC).
