General comment on data set ecoQuery: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/16162/documentation This dataset was built as a weighted average of regional datasets of the same activityName. Weights are based on production volumes.;Europe without Switzerland: production volume = 2e+09 kg/year, weight = 0.7675;US: production volume = 8e+08 kg/year, weight = 0.2302;CH: production volume = 8e+06 kg/year, weight = 0.00231 Service is starting with the receipt of bales of sorted waste PE This module includes all processes of the production of recycled PE granulate, high density, up to the factory gate.
