With regard to raw materials of recycled origin, only the impacts of the recycling process starting from the End of Waste status are considered. Outputs subject to recycling are considered inputs for the next life cycle; their impacts were assessed up to the End of Waste status.
Some impacts of the production plant (e.g., electricity, water and natural gas consumption) have been allocated among the outputs of the 2021 production based on economic factors."
