Guidance |
Cut-off rules may apply and it should be noted that for most construction projects, this aspect is likely to fall under the cut-off-rules.Use detailed calculation (based on LCI) for complete LCA.Scenarios for processing of packaging waste should be based on specific national data. | |||||
