Use advice for data set The data set can be used for all LCA/CF studies where the product is needed. Combination with individual unit processes using this commodity enables the generation of user-specific (product) LCAs. Due to its combination of strength and impact resistance, ABS is widely used as an engineering material. The main consumers are the automotive industry, the domestic appliances industry, the data technology and telecommunications area, and producers of refrigeration equipment, toys, sports articles, and semi-finished articles. ABS can be recycled, used articles can be ground and directly recycled in the pro-duction process. Furthermore, energy recovery by incineration is also possible.

Data set use approval No official approval by producer or operator

General comment The main data source was a data collection from European producers of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Primary data on gate-to-gate ABS production is derived from site-specific information for processes under operational control supplied by the participating companies of this eco-profile. Primary production data for ABS production are from four different European suppliers: overall five sites for ABS production are included in the average calculations. This covers more than 90 % of the European ABS (EU-27) production in 2013.
