| Technology description including background system | Mineral plasters and mortars are mainly based on inorganic raw materials, such as limestone, sand and quartz. Lime, cement and plaster are used as a mineral binder. According to their composition, the individual components are weighed, measured out, mixed and then packed in silos and sacks. The system boundary of the finished product is represented by the factory gate. Transports from the factory to the building site are not considered and must be included according to the system boundaries. In the disposal phase, a manual dismantling (no loads) is assumed in module C1. The transport in module C2 to the landfill site takes place with a truck (50km). In C3, if relevant, a packaging with PE foil is taken into account (for example, for mineral fiber products. 0.0125 kg foil per kg of discarded material). In module C4 the average landfill emissions corresponding to the product (reference country Germany) are shown. The use of landfill gas is not taken into account. |
