Product or waste flow

Post by leonora » 19 Apr 2016 16:45

Hi,

I am modelling life cycle phases accoring to CEN TC 350 standard for a Building. Modules "C3 Waste recovery" (which is processing of materials for either so that they can be recycled or disposed of) and C4 Disposal (which only includes the disposal of the materials).

I can't figure out if it makes a difference wether I model my flows as product type or waste type - what is the difference and how does openLCA understand the two flow types? I am convinced that I should model C4 as waste flow, but I am in doubt if I should model C3 as product or waste flow.

Kind Regards
Leonora
