Modeling of closed-loop recycling
Posted: 14 May 2014 06:55
Hi to all openLCA users,
I am new to openLCA and struggle with creating a recycling process (I'm using version 1.4). My process (see picture) basically transforms secondary aluminum into a final product (hot rolled aluminum) and waste (dross). I wanted to implement a closed-loop recycling and thus created another process "dross recycling" that transforms dross into secondary aluminum. When I click on the process map, however, I cannot choose this process as recipient for the dross. In which way can I create this closed-loop recycling?
I'm looking forward to receiving an answer!
Thanks and kind regards,
Manuela
