This report has been extensively reviewed within Franklin Associates and has undergone partial critical review by ACC Plastics Division members and is available at: www.americanchemistry.com. Quantities may vary slightly between the reference to main source and and this module due to rounding. Important note: although most of the data in the US LCI database has undergone some sort of review, the database as a whole has not yet undergone a formal validation process.

Quality network: 30USEsterification of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) with ethylene glycolUnit process, single operationAttributionalnone0.10less than 10%Data are from both primary and secondary sources. A weighted average using production amounts was calculated from the PTA production data from two plants collected from two leading producers in North America. A weighted average using production amounts was also calculated from the PET production data from two plants collected from two leading producers in North America. Data from primary sources in the early 1990’s was used for DMT and PET from DMT production. PTA and PET producers who provided data for this module verified that the characteristics of their plants are representative of a majority of North American TPA/PTA and PET production. The average TPA/PTA and PET datasets were reviewed and accepted respectively by each TPA/PTA and PET data provider.No statementFranklin Associates2020-01-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1Franklin Associates2020-01-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedNREL US Life Cycle Inventory (USLCI) LibraryVarious (NREL USLCI)trueFree of charge for all users and usesGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
